Supporting Student Success

First Generation Week Celebration

    • Teaching Students to Stay Healthy

      We offer programs and services that address the mind, body, and spirit. Our students have many fitness and athletic options to explore and have access to excellent healthcare services.

    • Leading Students to Get Involved

      We help students get involved on campus to better develop leadership skills, character, and discipline. We create global citizens who are ready to contribute to the world.

    • Encouraging Students to Live On Campus

      Living in a residence hall provides access to many services and resources, as well as the support to focus on academics and the experience of being a part of a diverse community.

    • Providing Ways to Get Support

      We provide opportunities for students to achieve their goals by offering services that complement their academic experiences. We support student's general needs that, when met, provide a fountain for academic and personal success.

  • Be Well to Do Well

    Some of you may have noticed this new little tag line and graphic starting to be utilized around many of our Health and Wellbeing programs and services.
