Health is an interactive
process of becoming aware of and practicing healthy choices to
create a more successful and balanced lifestyle. The Office of
Health Promotion promotes health by
following the SPICES approach. SPICES is an acronym for the
six dimensions of health: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Cultural,
Emotional, and Social components.

the Office of Health Promotion is to provide wellness
initiatives, peer education, and resources in order for students to make
appropriate choices for healthy living. In collaboration with
several departments on campus, the Office aims to enhance overall

approach on the dimensions of wellness and is consistent with the
Augustinian philosophy. |
