Abstract
Participants completed surveys assessing demographics, wellness, life satisfaction, and perceived stress. Results revealed higher stress levels among faculty and staff compared to students and higher stress scores among female students compared to males. Overall, stress levels for all participants were far above the norm, while wellness and life satisfaction scores were neither high nor low. Taken together students, faculty, and staff from this university were somewhat physically active, stressed, and not satisfied or unsatisfied with their lives, thus demonstrating potential to increase stress and wellness values for students, faculty, and staff.
