It’s not just about being. It’s about being well.
Mental health and wellbeing 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 at every step of the way. We offer comprehensive health care through University Health Services. University Recreation & Wellbeing supports students’ physical and mental wellbeing. The Office of Student Assistance and Support, along with The Open Seat Food Pantry, provides essential basic-needs assistance. The Parents Fund further strengthens these efforts, offering flexible funding to enhance the programs and services that benefit students the most.
Through these efforts, we strive to meet students where they are and cultivate a healthy campus community.
