Throughout the year, student leaders from the Wellness Club, Wellness Committee, and other Special Interest Groups (SIGs), along with Student Government, collaborate with the Counseling and Wellness Center to organize activities that promote fitness, relaxation, mental health, and social connection. The Counseling and Wellness Center provides administrative support and some funding to help bring these efforts to life.
