The Mission of Wellness and Prevention Education is to provide various services and programming opportunities that encourage healthy decision-making among students.  Wellness and prevention education services coordinates health-related programs that comply with federal mandates such as the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 and provides personal counseling coordinated through the Student Counseling Center.  Programming through this office covers areas such as alcohol and other drug abuse, sexual assault and partner violence, sexual responsibility, student health insurance information, and other health-related topics.
