Heather Zesiger, PhD, MPH, MCHES® is the inaugural Director of Cultivate Well-Being Action & Transformation. In this role she is the principal catalyst assisting all cabinet areas and colleges with effectively implementing the Cultivate Well-Being Roadmaps – for students and for faculty and staff. Dr. Zesiger has worked at the intersection of public health and higher education for more than 25 years, most recently, at the 51³Ô¹Ï (ACHA) where she managed a CDC cooperative agreement. She previously worked in student affairs managing multidisciplinary teams providing health promotion and student support at Emory University and at The New School (NYC).”
Through a Collective Impact approach, Georgia Tech enhances the institutional attributes that promote health and mitigates the elements of campus culture that have a negative impact on well-being. We disrupt the policies and practices—at both the individual- and community- levels—that inhibit our well-being while identifying and scaling up those efforts and actions that are working well. The Office of Well-Being Action & Transformation advances the cross-Institute communication, alignment, and collaboration required to achieve large-scale, collective, place-based change to enhance well-being.
