Balanced Dukes is the employee wellness and well-being program for James Madison University. We offer resources, initiatives, and campaigns designed to support and enhance the overall well-being of our faculty and staff.
Our Mission:
Partnering and engaging with employees to work towards personal satisfaction among the core dimensions of well-being: environmental, health, relationships, security, purpose, and learning in pursuit of a meaningful quality of life.
JMU defines well-being as an optimal and dynamic state that allows us to flourish now and in the future. It depends on several connected areas of life – environment, health, relationships, security, purpose, and learning. At JMU, student, faculty, and staff well-being is created through an active and ongoing process at a variety of levels. By focusing on the whole – the whole person, the whole experience, the whole community, the whole planet – well-being becomes a comprehensive goal and a shared responsibility for all.
