A student’s success is dependent on a variety of factors including their health and well-being. UA provides many resources to support a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. All of these resources will help you follow and stick with the wellness wheel.
The Health Hut helps promote healthy living for all students. They also help sponsor and raise awareness throughout campus with organizations such as Project Wellness. You can usually find a booth set up in various locations around campus to help promote different aspects of healthy living, such as the safe use of alcohol, or just healthier eating choices. But don’t worry, these aren’t boring lectures! Students and faculty find fun and interactive ways to teach you more on these topics. For more information on what the Health Hut offers, you can find them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
