Employee Wellness

Employee Wellness at Auburn University seeks to create a culture of wellness allowing employees to explore and seek opportunities in the various dimensions of wellness to positively impact their personal wellness journey.

 

Through the development of wellness programs, activities, and resources, we intend to provide an experience that allows participants to be present, and learn with and from the community that gathers.

 

We believe a culture and community centered around health and well-being can make a profound difference in the lives of Auburn faculty, staff, and retirees.

Coordinator, Employee Wellness

​​​Find where there's a need and go meet it. This philosophy is what led Blake Butcher to where he is today: Auburn University. Blake began his work in the Auburn community as a personal trainer at Health Plus Fitness Center. Over the span of fifteen years, he and his wife helped build a community focused on wellness.

 

For the past seven years, Blake has been working with Auburn University, establishing the Personal Training Program within the Recreation and Wellness Center. He also serves the student population as an instructor in the School of Kinesiology, where he focuses on connecting with students and meeting their needs.

 

Blake has recently shifted gears and now his goal is to give back to Auburn employees and identify gaps in their wellness journey.​ Blake’s vision includes a comprehensive, holistic approach to wellness that will meet employees where they are and provide expanded services that serve the needs of the Auburn Family.
