Wellbeing and Religious Identity: How We Are Missing a Component of the Student Experience

Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice Spirituality and Religion in Higher Education Mid-Level New Professional
J. Cody Nielsen Dickinson College

When student affairs professionals discuss wellbeing, we often consider financial wellbeing, physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing and social wellbeing. But often forgotten is the importance of spiritual wellbeing, an element highlighted extensively in the 2003-2005 UCLA Study of Spirituality in Higher Education. Follow up work to this seminal study by Dr. Jenny Small and others have found that this area wellbeing may be extraordinarily important for college students. Yet, the data finds that marginalized religious students may be missing out on these benefits due to environmental conditions present on the college campus.
