Health Education
The Health Education Office is an inclusive resource center that focuses on preventative health and wellness on campus.
The Health Education Office comprises one full-time Health Educator, as well as a Health Education Fellow whose primary role is to oversee the Green Dot Bystander Intervention Program. Our Health Educator and the volunteer student Health Advisers offer health education events and are also available to meet with students individually. We cover a wide variety of health topics, including sexuality and gender identity, sexual health and misconduct, alcohol and other drug use, healthy relationships, self-care, and general well-being.
This office recognizes the unique needs of specific communities on campus and works hard to provide relevant resources for all students. However you identify, you are welcome here.
