Wellness Lounge
College is a time of new beginnings, academic achievement, and an active social life. Unfortunately, high stress can follow you along the way and is an inevitable part of the experience. Take advantage of the many resources on campus to indulge in self-care, connect with others, and increase your quality of mental health and overall wellness.
