This selected group of elite student leaders are dedicated to promoting a culture of well-being by providing quality wellness education and resources that support and enhance the lifestyles of our students. The office’s areas of focus include: Chemical Health, Mental Health & Stress Management, Healthy Relationships, Sleep, and Nutrition & Physical Activity. The PAs support these efforts to equip students with health-related knowledge by providing educational programs/workshops, awareness campaigns, social activities, and assisting students in accessing resources on topics such as: Stress Management & Resilience, Chemical Health, Mental Health, Nutrition and Fitness, and Healthy Relationship.
The Counseling Center is another free resource for students where they can enhance their personal development and academic achievement.
