Living ‘Cowbell Well’ with new wellness and safety initiative
Through Cowbell Well, which familiarizes all Bulldogs with seven wellness behaviors that can help reduce the spread of COVID-19, students can do their part to protect and maintain MSU’s special campus experience.
Cowbell Well is a result of several months of research and planning by MSU’s Healthy Behaviors Work Group of students, faculty and staff. This group surveyed and interviewed students and parents to gain insights into implementing prevention behaviors on campus. Recommendations from this research included the creation of multiple messaging that serves as reminders on these important behaviors and working to build student confidence in the ability to do the behaviors each day.
The research results also showed that making necessary supplies to perform the behaviors should be made readily available. The seven health and safety behaviors identified by the study include:
-- Wearing a face covering
-- Completing the daily screening
-- Cleaning your hands often
-- Observing physical distancing
-- Staying home if you feel sick
-- Sanitizing surfaces
-- Practicing self care
