Wellness Community
Students in this community have access to an exclusive work-out facility and a full teaching kitchen in the basement of Kirwan II. The community also has a Wellness Graduate Assistant who plans programs and activities in support of healthy, well-rounded lifestyles. Participants explore what it means to be substance-free and are encouraged to maintain a commitment to not smoke, drink alcohol, take illegal drugs or misuse legal drugs, even when away from campus. Community amenities/activities include: teaching kitchen, workout room, in-hall fitness classes, tutoring, sports tournaments, regular distribution of wellness-related information/resources, and more! Students participating in the Wellness Living Learning Community will live together in Kirwan II.
As part of the Wellness Community, you will be assessed a $67.00 fee to live in Kirwan II. This money goes toward enhancing the environment to support the wellness theme.
“I signed up for the wellness living-learning community‚ because it sounded interesting. However‚ a small part of me was afraid I would be living with self-centered jocks or a roommate who would wake me up to go running at 5 o’clock in the morning! Now‚ I know my preconceived notions are not true! My roommate is amazing and I have met a ton of other students in my dorm! Getting involved on campus is crucial and the wellness program has a lot to offer. If you’re interested in leading a well-rounded‚ healthy lifestyle during college this living-learning community is for you!”
