Student wellness is an essential component of academic success in higher education and subsequent opportunities in the labor market.

The Student Life Student Wellness Center uses a model that includes ten key dimensions of wellness: career, creative, emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual. By taking the assessment students are prioritizing their well-being and developing an understanding of each of the multifaceted dimensions.
