A campus committed to wellness

“Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” – The World Health Organization 

Wellness is an individualized, self-paced and self-directed experience that can be continuously explored to create harmony across your personal and professional life. Holistic health is about caring for the whole person, which can seem like a daunting task.

LiveWell is here to help you prioritize your well-being and navigate campus resources to take care of you and your Pack. In addition to the many mental and physical benefits you may experience, making wellness a priority in college can help improve academic achievement and retention.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has identified eight dimensions of wellness. Each dimension is interconnected; the goal is to find balance in all dimensions to holistically support you as you strive toward your own optimal health and wellness.
