Faculty can play a critical role in supporting college health professionals' efforts to enhance student health and well-being. However, many college health practitioners have expressed concerns about how to effectively engage faculty. This article, written by current faculty who are all former college health professionals, aims to bridge this gap. We propose that some difficulties in working with faculty could be improved by having a more nuanced understanding of faculty roles and expectations, and through identifying ways to leverage faculty duties for mutually beneficial partnerships. First, we describe characteristic faculty responsibilities based on position and institutional type. Next, we provide ideas for potential collaborative opportunities. Then we offer recommended approaches for how to engage faculty and sustain these relationships. We hope these insights will help to strengthen the needed connection between faculty and college health professionals in order to best meet the needs of college students.
教师可以在支持高校卫生专业人员努力增强学生健康和福祉方面发挥关键作用。然而，许多高校卫生工作者表示担心如何有效地与教师合作。本文的作者都是前高校卫生专业人员，旨在弥合这一差距。我们认为，通过更细致地了解教师的角色和期望，并确定利用教师职责建立互利伙伴关系的方法，可以改善与教师合作中的一些困难。首先，我们根据职位和机构类型描述了教师的典型职责。接下来，我们提供了潜在合作机会的想法。然后，我们提出了一些建议，介绍了如何让教师参与进来并维持这些关系。我们希望这些见解将有助于加强教师和高校卫生专业人员之间的必要联系，以便更好地满足大学生的需求。
