Intellectual Fun and Function Model
Mim Leonard states, "You don't just learn wellness, you live it!" Mim's wellness philosophy was shared by her husband of fifty years who was a thoughtful, intelligent man who valued education and students who were willing to learn.
Mim's husband taught at UD in the evening. He taught students who worked all day and then went to night school to further their education and career. Her husband often said that kids take education for granted, but young people who were willing to come to night school and take time away from their families are those who really wanted to learn. Wellness concepts and ideas are similar in that they can be taken for granted or valued and put into practice for optimal health every day.
