Wellness
The Department of Recreation and Wellness encourages the whole person to be active,
healthy, and inspired. We promote health and well-being through our fitness and wellness
programs, mental health through our counseling services, and spiritual health through
our campus ministry. The department addresses students' needs in a holistic manner—all
elements of the individual are considered: intellectual, environmental, spiritual,
physical, multicultural, community, mindfulness, and financial.
