The Health Promotion Program is a vital component of Health Services. Health Promotion collaborates with students to enhance their health so that they can be best prepared to pursue their personal, academic, and career goals. Our mission is to:
- Create a campus environment in which students feel empowered to make healthy choices
- Contribute to the development of healthy lifestyles
- Reduce loss of class and study hours due to health concerns

Here is a partial list of the health promotion activities we offer:
