Good health – physical and mental – is vital to your success as a student. We also believe good health includes an overall sense of wellbeing; this might come through feeling safe and supported on campus, confidence in your abilities, effective self-care or a network of peers you can socialize with and ask advice from. To help you achieve good health and wellbeing, we contribute to a healthy campus experience through a variety of wellness events, activities and educational campaigns.
