Student Wellness Center (SWC)

Medical, physician
assistant and graduate student education can be stressful and
demanding with many competing commitments. Resilience and the ability
to balance commitments to one's self, others and the larger
educational and professional context are key developmental
capacities for adapting and thriving during this time of continuous
learning and growth. Many students find that participating in
wellness activities, connections with other students, as well as,
seeking the support of counseling and learning professionals can
enhance a student's ability to thrive in this intense and highly
demanding environment.
It is with this awareness
that the SWC's mission was developed. SWC's mission is to support and
promote the emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual
wellness of students on our campus through providing wellness
activities and counseling.
In keeping with this
mission, SWC is offering the following student wellness
activities in 2011-2012:
- Internal Awareness
Training
- Yoga for Stress
Management
- Zumba
- Nutrition and Cooking
Classes
- Healthy Relationships
Mini Course
- Mindfulness
Meditation
- Fitness/Exercise Groups
- Personal Finance
- Couples Retreat
- Time Management
