Health Education
One of the primary missions of Health Services is health education and outreach. By being well informed, students can make more educated and responsible choices for healthy living. A variety of educational programs and workshops is held throughout the year. Topics include dealing with depression and anxiety, substance abuse, relationship issues, managing stress and adjusting to college, to name a few.
