Ju Young Hong has been blessed to be part of the Mount Holyoke College family since 2014 and, in December of 2022, celebrated her new role as director of Be Well. Her journey includes a master's in Counseling, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training from UMass Memorial Medical Center, teacher training from Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults from Duke University, and transformational leadership training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.
Ju's goals for Be Well are to provide opportunities for students to take thoughtful pauses to check in with their mind, body, and spirit and to then take that rich feedback to explore Be Well's four areas of wellness (healthy body, healthy mind, healthy community and healthy life).
Ju's joys include meditation, hot yoga, napping with her golden retriever, and spending time with her kids and chosen family. She welcomes you to contact her with any questions or concerns.
