The Importance of Overall Wellbeing
At the Owens Health and Wellness Center, we believe that proper health goes beyond the absence of illness. It includes your physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. Our mission is to support both students and the community in every aspect of their health journey, whether it is managing stress, accessing essential care items, or learning how to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
We are committed to:
• Promoting a culture of wellness
• Empowering students with resources and education
• Supporting the health equity and dignity of every individual
• Building a healthier, more connected campus and community
Personal Wellness Closet - Emergency Support Resource
To support students facing temporary hardship, the Owens Health and Wellness Center offers the Personal Wellness Closet—a limited, emergency-use resource designed to help meet essential personal care needs during times of financial strain or unexpected need.
This free and confidential service provides a selection of personal hygiene and self-care items for our students.
Please note:
The Wellness Closet is not a regular supply outlet, but rather a short-term support system for students experiencing challenges accessing basic hygiene necessities. We encourage students to use this resource responsibly and only as needed. Whether you are navigating a challenging time or facing an unexpected situation, we're here to help with compassion, respect, and discretion.

Finding Balance: Wellness for Students, Employees & the Community
Life can be overwhelming, whether you are a student managing academics, work, and relationships, or a member of the broader community juggling personal and professional responsibilities. That is why finding a healthy balance between physical well-being and emotional resilience is essential for everyone.
Wellness is not a one-time goal; it is a daily commitment. Healthy eating, regular physical activity, quality sleep, emotional support, and personal hygiene all play key roles in maintaining this balance. These habits not only enhance your focus and energy but also build long-term resilience and improve your overall quality of life.
At the Owens Health and Wellness Center, we are here to remind you: your wellness matters. With support that is accessible, inclusive, and compassionate, we are committed to helping both students and community members take the steps needed to prioritize their health. Because when you invest in your wellness today, you strengthen the future for yourself and for the communities you are a part of./p>
