The Importance of Work-Life Balance

Your academic success is top priority, but the School of Nursing and Health Sciences also believes in the importance of learning who you are outside of your studies. Not only do faculty and staff encourage you to join an athletic team, take part in the performing arts, and participate in clubs and community service organizations, they also cheer you from the sidelines, applaud your stage debut, share in community events, collaborate on service projects and support you at professional conferences. At Colby-Sawyer, you’ll discover who you are alongside people who care about helping you establish a healthy work-life balance.
