Our Vision

The departments of Student Health, Wellness, and Prevention (SHWPS) services promote and enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of all students, faculty, and staff at our university. We strive to create a safe and supportive campus community that fosters healthy lifestyles, resilience, and a sense of belonging for all students. We provide comprehensive and accessible healthcare services and recreation to all students of the campus community, including medical, mental health, and preventive care. We, as a team, develop and implement evidence-based wellness programs and initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles, stress reduction, and resilience and foster a culture of prevention by providing education and training on topics such as sexual health, alcohol and substance use, and mental health awareness. Through our commitment to accessibility, we strive to empower students to achieve their academic and personal goals and to foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and diversity at our institution.
