AB  - During the pandemic, many reports from academic-focused sources emphasized the importance of providing services that address student well-being.  A need to help students in the area of mental health and wellness within an undergraduate only department of engineering was recognized. Wellness Wednesday programming for students, faculty, and staff was started at a mid-size liberal arts focused university in the mid-Atlantic region of the east coast to address this need. The bi-weekly programming during the AY2021-22 addressed the eight dimensions of wellness which include: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, environmental, financial, occupational, and social. An asynchronous approach to the programming was used to accommodate students’ differing schedules. The Wellness Wednesday programming impacted 28% of the engineering student population and 41% of the engineering faculty and staff population through thirteen sessions.  Following the success of the program, the idea was shared nationally at the Engineering Deans Institute, which resulted in adoption in an undergraduate only school of engineering at a private liberal arts university on the East coast. This paper presents the framework for offering asynchronous wellness programing within a department or school, as well as best practices and lessons learned.
