Being.

It’s not just about Being, it’s about Being Well.

Mental health and well-being are critical components of a student’s college experience. During their time on campus, students experience a multitude of transitions, stressors, and challenges. Student Affairs is here to help every step of the way. From comprehensive healthcare through University Health Services, to physical and mental well-being with Recreation & Wellbeing, to basic needs support through the Office of Student Assistance and Support and The Open Seat Food Pantry, we strive to meet students where they’re at and cultivate a healthy campus community.
