Student Wellness Resources

At the University of Iowa, our mission for student wellness is to support student success by promoting sustainable health behaviors and fostering a culture of wellness. The OSE supports this mission by recognizing that health is created within the settings of everyday life and should be viewed holistically through physical, mental, and social well-being. We provide resources for individual health as well as resources for how you can help build a healthy community on campus.
