The Center for Student Wellbeing is a dedicated space where students can study, unwind, and explore resources that support their overall wellness. Located in the Student Center on the Health Sciences Campus, the space includes comfortable seating, flexible work areas, and take-home tools like stress kits, wellness guides, and self-care items. Students can also access the Open Paws Pantry and get connected to other campus services that support wellbeing and success. Whether you're stopping by to study, refuel, or reset, this space is here to help you live well, your way.
The Roar and Restore Room is a calming space for students, faculty, and staff to pause, reflect, and recharge. Designed to support mindfulness, prayer, and quiet relaxation, this space is located in Room 2024 in the Student Center on the Health Sciences Campus. It is available by reservation or walk-in for individual use only. We ask that all visitors help maintain the peaceful environment by respecting the space and keeping noise to a minimum.
Wellness coaching is a free service that provides support for navigating a variety of concerns, challenges and life transitions. Wellness coaching is the collaboration between the coach and the student to identify motivations, values and strengths while creating a map for positive behavior change(s). A coach works with you to maximize your personal and professional potential and helps you focus on achieving of goals that are meaningful for you. Whether it’s being more active, succeeding in the classroom, making connections or other concerns, a coach can help you build a plan to reach your well-being goals.
Ultimately, a coach partners with a student to work towards enhancing their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes that are aligned with their values. A coach’s job is not to provide a treatment plan for you, but to be your ally and resource during your well-being journey. The coach will support you in meeting your goals through accountability, thought-provoking questions, and continuous encouragement!
Every session is tailored to the individual and the goals they pinpoint. Together, you and your coach will formulate a plan that is tailored to your individual values, goals and needs. Discussions will include exploration of short- and long-term vision/goals, well-being assessments, obstacle discussion, brainstorming solutions, and more. Your coach also provides you with an added layer of accountability and support to help you reach your goals.
