The HPM provides creative and proactive leadership for initiatives within HPPS and acts as a liaison to multiple campus stakeholders around a variety of health promotion topics and strategies. The HPM for Well-Being Initiatives interfaces regularly with our high-achieving student body and campus-wide colleagues through management of several projects of Princetonâ™s health and well-being initiative, hereafter referred to as TigerWell, including the Grant Program, the Campus Well-Being Partnership, and the UHS team of Outreach Counselors. The HPM may also coordinate other project-based efforts and health promotion programs alongside HPPS staff using health behavior theory and an ecological framework.
