Crowd Source: What Did Wellness Mean to You When You Were a Bryn Mawr Student?
Laura Blum Romano ’98
It meant attending therapy and a support group for people who had lost a loved one. It also meant me getting up at 6:30 every day to trudge across campus and work out in the gym when it was relatively quiet and was my space and time before my crazy schoolwork day began. I still remember the peaceful stillness of
the campus at that time ... then rewarding myself with a good breakfast at the cafeteria.

Wellness meant avoiding the health center!
Deborah Anne Jones Farquhar ’68|
1964–68: Wellness was mental wellness. It was a turbulent time. We were hopeful.
Diana Ducey Ludwick ’06
The wellness center used to mean the place I could get a paper envelope filled with salt for a sore throat. Today for me, wellness is a practice, an action verb!
Marion Snipes ’53
I never heard it used. More likely to say health or healthy.
