The Student Wellness Center is located on the main floor of the RPAC (Recreation & Physical Activity Center) in the Mary A. Daniels Student Wellness Suite.
The Mission and Vision of the Student Wellness Center (SWC) at The Ohio State University (OSU) is:
Mission: To promote the wellness of OSU students and their communities.
*"Wellness" is an active, ongoing process which involves becoming aware of and taking steps towards a healthier, happier, successful life.
Vision: We strive to provide the preeminent services at The Ohio State University that enhance the wellness of students and their communities
We also believe that parents or guardians can play a vital role in this pursuit.
Living well means more than just eating right and exercising. It's also about meeting the needs of family and friends while finding time for yourself; understanding others' expectations while exploring your own ambitions; challenging long-held beliefs while forging new possibilities. Living well is an ongoing collection that balances almost every aspect of our lives.
Below are the nine dimensions of wellness as defined by The Student Wellness Center with helpful links to information found on The Student Wellness web site. We encourage you to look at the information provided and talk to your student to help us with our mission. Please feel free to contact us with questions or concerns at any time.
What you can expect when utilizing The Student Wellness Center
All services offered through the SWC are preformed with the interest of giving personal attention and personal student development. All meetings with students are private and provided in a safe atmosphere for exploration and discovery.
Parents and guardians have an important role in their students lives. There are many topics that may be difficult to talk about and some parents or students may not know how to start a conversation around the various topics. Through these pages, we would like to offer some tips on conversation starters about challenging topics to talk about as well as some information that may be useful for parents/guardians.
