our Wellness Center 

We are "the Zen Den." - a purposeful retreat on campus.

Wellness Centers, like the Zen Den, provide increased early interventions and tools to students experiencing challenges impacting their ability to focus and learn at school.

In the Zen Den, we strive to provide a "reset" space away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of campus where students can find calm. It is a digital detox zone, and we work to keep it a calming place. Please respect the "Zen" of our den.
During their visit, students can participate in various services. Most students utilize the short 15-minute "reset break."

 Other services include personal support, group support, leadership coaching, community resources, emergency supplies for students, and self-efficacy skill building.
