The Student Health & Wellness Commission is focused on advocating for various topics in health and wellness such as mental health, sexual health, nutrition, disability, alcohol/drug use, and more! We aim to partner with on-campus resource centers such as the CARE Office, Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion, etc. to make resources needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle rightfully accessible to all. Our primary goals this year are planning and hosting events to educate and inspire a culture of health and wellbeing on campus, destigmatizing various topics to cultivate a safe campus community. We also aim to continue the HEALTH class to empower students to take control of their personal health! Popular events we’ve hosted in the past include Gra-Tea-Tude Journaling, Sip-n-String, and Positive Reflections, where we hosted a gratitude-centered journaling session, made friendship bracelets, and created affirmation jars! We hope that through hosting these events, students are empowered and encouraged to live healthier and happier lifestyles.
