Health and Wellness Education contributes to your success by creating and maintaining a supportive and healthy campus environment.

We do this by helping you with the following:

  • Health promotion that is focused on protective factors and campus strengths.
  • Prevention that is focused on reducing personal, campus, and institution-wide health risks.

Health promotion and prevention are essential to students’ community engagement, participation in immersive learning, and development of skills as global problem solvers.

Events and Programs

We host regular events and programs throughout the year to help you feel supported in fostering your own health and wellness. We also offer a selection of workshops you can request for a group.
