In May, the Wellness Resource Center made adjustments to better align with the college's new mental health and wellness commitment.

Molly Hadley, formerly assistant director, has been promoted to director of the Wellness Resource Center. As director, Hadley will continue strategizing and overseeing the work of the center. Additionally, Hadley will support college-wide public health responses and create collaborative wellness partnerships both on and off campus to promote holistic well-being in our community. Working closely with our students, staff, and faculty, Hadley will identify health priorities to proactively guide policies and programming at CC that adhere to current best practices.

Cassie Luna, formerly the sexual assault response coordinator, was promoted to assistant director and campus advocate in the Wellness Resource Center. In their new role, Luna will develop and implement a more robust sexual violence prevention program, implement and evaluate support services, and manage the Advocate On-Call program, which serves as the after-hours line for CC community members in need of support related to sexual violence.

Previously known as the sexual assault response coordinator, the campus advocate role recognizes the wide range of experiences under the umbrella term of sexual violence, including sexual assault. As campus advocate, Luna will continue to provide free, confidential support and advocacy for anyone in the CC campus community who has been affected by sexual violence and ensure that sexual and intimate partner violence preventions efforts are evidence-based/informed, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered. Additionally, the campus advocate title more closely reflects the Colorado state statute, which provides confidentiality for victim/survivor advocates who must be specially trained in the physical, psychological, and legal effects of sexual violence.

In addition, the Wellness Resource Center plans to hire a health promotion specialist. This position will plan, design, and execute health promotion and prevention programming on the Colorado College campus, and oversee Peer Health Educators.
