Choose to be a Healthy Graduate Student
Graduate school does not have to be an unhealthy experience. Taking a new educational challenge can be overwhelming. Dealing with stress, experiencing changes in your eating habits, finding ways to balance personal and professional lives can be demanding. You dont have to find the solution alone. The Health Education and Promotion department has created multiple sources of support for you! Please visit their calendar of events to learn about self-care and improve your health as you reach your new professional goals. We want you to be healthy!
