Student Wellness

We know when you are well, you do well. There are many things that can influence your health and well-being while working toward your college degree, and we are here to help you support your wellness.

The Student Wellness area offers presentations for student organizations or classes, events and activities to influence your wellness, health information in many formats on campus, online training for skill development, and the opportunity to connect with or become a peer health educator.

Your own personal journey to optimal wellness begins with self-awareness, learning more about your own wellness, and actively making improvements to enhance your overall well-being. Your efforts will help you make healthier decisions, reach your goals and be well!

Peer Education
