Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey

The CCWS is a Canadian-based assessment tool MRU uses to collect information about the health and wellbeing of MRU students. The survey is confidential and participation is voluntary. The information collected from the CCWS is used to identify priority areas to focus on to support student health and wellbeing. 

  • This image is an infographic from Mount Royal University (MRU) titled "Student Health Data" based on the Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey (CCWS). It presents various statistics related to student health and wellbeing on campus, accompanied by icons and graphics to represent each category. Key sections and data points include: Sense of Belonging: 67% of students feel they belong at MRU, represented by an icon of a group of people. Mental Health: 84% of students rate their mental health as good, very good, or excellent, illustrated by a brain icon. Resilience: 68% of students rate their ability to handle unexpected and difficult problems as good, very good, or excellent, depicted by a plant icon growing through adversity. Food Security: 71% of students are food secure, symbolized by a strawberry icon. Substance Use: 68% of students drink alcohol, and 30% have used cannabis in the last 30 days, represented by icons of a bottle and a cannabis leaf. Help-Seeking: Students are most likely to talk to a family member when experiencing serious emotional distress, with an icon of a family figure. Sexual Health: 68% of students rate their ability to handle unexpected and difficult problems as good, very good, or excellent, similar to the resilience section, also depicted by a plant icon. Impacts to Academic Progress: Academic workload is identified as the biggest obstacle to academic progress, symbolized by a graduation cap icon. The infographic includes a photo of a building on campus in the background, along with additional details about the survey, such as the survey period (January 29, 2024, to March 1, 2024), the number of students invited to participate (6000), and the response rate (25%). A note at the bottom encourages viewers to visit the MRU website for more information or to request a presentation on the CCWS data. The MRU logo is displayed in the bottom right corner.
