Health & Wellness
The Wellness Team ensures a safe, welcoming, and vibrant community by providing services that assist students in identifying, clarifying, and achieving their personal, wellness, and educational goals.
In addition to direct assistance to students, the Wellness Team develops programs that improve the quality of life and learning in our community.
