Our Values
In support of the Office of Student Life, the Student Wellness Center’s values are:
Student-Driven: The student voice is the priority. By actively engaging students, assessing their needs, and incorporating their feedback, we ensure that our work best serves the Ohio State community.
Championing: We support all students in achieving holistic well-being, while also contributing to the development of university policies that enhance community wellness. Our goal is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to define and live out their personal well-being, empowering them to become wellness leaders and role models within their communities.
Collaboration: We work with students and community partners to design programs, services and policies that promote holistic student well-being.
Evidenced-based: We value evidence from peer-reviewed research while acknowledging that institutional inequities has led to gaps in data. Therefore, we use the best available evidence—drawing from research, experience, and practice—to inform college health promotion efforts and policies.
Community: We advocate for and actively work to challenge barriers that may affect students' ability to thrive on campus, while also committing to fostering a sense of belonging through deliberate efforts to ensure all students feel welcomed, respectfully heard, and empowered.
