located?

At the Department of Prevention and Wellness, we provide health education to our students about topics such as alcohol, nutrition, drugs, consent, mental health, and more! All of our programs and events derive from the 8 dimensions of the wellness wheel. Our goal is to inspire students to take charge of their own individual wellness and follow healthy practices that support a holistic lifestyle. PuppyPalooza is one of our most famous events, co-hosted by Campus Recreation and Gulf Cost Humane Society. We bring puppies to campus right before finals week to help students de-stress! We want you to take care of yourselves and have the most fun possible, as safely as possible. You can learn about some more of our initiatives below. Our office is located in Howard Hall 119 so stop by and check out our free resource area!

Our Initiatives

Peers CARE
Looking to get involved on campus? Think about joining our Peer Education group called Peers CARE! Peers are trained on wellness topics and seek to provide students with accurate information so they can be informed consumers as they make decisions about their health. Sign up on our interest link on Eagle Link!
Wellness Coaching
Looking for one-on-one help? Consider wellness coaching! You can sign up for an appointment on our website to meet with a trained Peer Educator. You can talk about anything, whether its homesickness or creating better eating habits!
