Nutrition is often difficult for college students to prioritize. In a time of our lives when we have so many educational, social, and job-related obligations, certain basic needs, like nutrition, can easily fall to the wayside.

There are many paths to wellness, and this month we have a variety of events and workshops to help you expand your skills. Whether you want to tame stress, strengthen your knowledge about mental health first aid, or reimagine healing with us on March 31st, we look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey!
