What is Health & Wellness Committee?

Marquette ASDA’s Health and Wellness Committee aims to promote a holistic approach to overall health involving ASDA’s five dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, intellectual, occupational, and environmental. Personal health can often fall by the wayside during dental school, so Marquette ASDA’s Health and Wellness Committee strives to create an environment that encourages students to be their best selves and in turn provide the best possible care for their patients. Whether it be through planning workout classes, sports tournaments, or mindfulness sessions, this committee serves as a resource for Marquette dental students to be as happy and healthy as possible!

Annual Bradford Beach Volleyball Tournament

Each year, Marquette ASDA’s Health & Wellness Committee hosts a school-wide volleyball tournament at Bradford Beach as a part of our Fever Week programming. Students can sign up in teams of six to compete against their classmates in a single-elimination style bracket for the title of Volleyball Tournament Champions.

Step Challenge

Every fall and spring semester, the Health & Wellness Committee challenges the MUSoD student body to see who can gather the most steps over the course of four weeks. One student from each class, D1-D4, as well as one faculty member are crowned the Step Challenge Champion!

Complimentary Exercise/Yoga Classes

Exercise is one of the best ways MUSoD students like to get their mind off school and focus more on their personal well-being. Marquette ASDA is very grateful to have the opportunity to partner with local workout instructors and businesses to provide complimentary fitness and yoga sessions for our members to participate in.
