The mission of 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 wellness via educational events, peer programming, awareness weeks, individual consultation and media campaigns.  The Office bases its approach on the dimensions of wellness and is consistent with the Augustinian philosophy.
