Standards and Evidence Driven

A Standards and Evidence-Based Approach

Every program and service we provide at Student Wellness was developed using nationally established research grounded guidelines, and we regularly implement assessments and evaluations to stay current with present and evolving health and social behaviors on campus.

We adhere to best practice approaches and follow both Healthy Campus 2020 and the American College Health Association (ACHA) Standards of Practice, as well as NASPA and CAS professional guides.
