Wellness at Western

The Western experience is designed to prioritize the whole you. You'll find everything you need to thrive intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially both in and out of the classroom. This holistic approach starts with the skills and abilities you don't see on paper: mental well-being, grit and purpose. That's why Western offers wellness tools to help students explore their strengths and areas for growth.
