Health and Wellness

Whether you’re fighting the freshman 15, you want to increase your heart rate or are just looking to clear your mind, we have the tools to keep your head, your heart — and every other body part — healthy and happy.

Find out what you need

The Health Education Office, located in Student Services, is a member of the American College Health Association. It provides personal health counseling, resource materials, referrals to local health providers, and assistance in seeking financial resources for health-related issues. It also initiates activities and awareness for all aspects of health and wellness such as drugs and alcohol, AIDS and sexual assault.

Run, jump, swim, climb

Get healthy and get credit for it by taking a class that’ll get you active. Check out swing dancing, snowshoeing, Pilates or spinning. If you want to march to the beat of your own drum just visit the Physical Education Building and create your own workout regime with the climbing wall, two-lane track, racquetball courts, weight room and strength center, swimming pool, aerobic center and basketball gym. The facility also accommodates tennis, volleyball, indoor soccer, archery and other sports.

Clear your mind

If something is troubling you and you need some help to shake it, try our advising and psychological counseling services. Services are free to currently enrolled students and include individual, couples, group and career counseling. Knock your worries away and feel better.

Birds and the bees

The Health Education Office plans plenty of activities for Healthy Relationships Week each semester. The office partners with local groups such as the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and victims services, which provide awareness and counseling for unhealthy relationships as well as highlight what makes a positive, healthy relationship. Call 307.432.1631 for more information.

Eat right

Hungry? A well balanced diet is important in feeling your best. The Filling Station has lots of yummy snacks and meals that are good for you. Try the yogurt and granola cups, fresh veggies, or a garden or chef’s salad. Or have the cooks make you a fresh, grilled deli sandwich. Be sure to get whole wheat and hold the mayo.
