Mission

WesWELL, the Office of Health Education, is the division of Wesleyan University's Health Services. Our mission is to promote mindfulness and responsibility in all areas of health and wellness in order to prevent disease, injury and other health problems. We encourage good health of mind, body and spirit by helping members of the Wesleyan community, particularly students, connect with resources and gain knowledge that will aid in the enhancement of their well-being, encourage self-discovery, and support their intellectual proficiency and academic success.

The staff of WesWELL strives to fulfill this mission by: 

  • offering evidence-based educational outreach programs and awareness activities, often in collaboration with student organizations or other campus departments and offices
  • supporting student events with co-sponsorship of events, financial backing from the HealthFull Words Fund, program planning advice, as well as training resources, and other educational materials
  • sponsoring Non-credit Classes for personal enrichment
  • providing referrals to other health resources from A to Z
  • maintaining an extensive Resource Library and providing safer sex supplies at no charge
    and
  • serving on various University committees, such as the Alcohol and other Drugs Committee and the Student Health Advisory Committee, to advocate for changes in campus policies and procedures which promote the creation of a healthier campus environment.

"Wellness must be a prerequisite to all else. 
Students cannot be intellectually proficient if they are
physically and psychologically unwell." 

~ Ernest Boyer (Campus Life: In Search of Community)
