scsu Wellness programs

*Ensuring our students continue to make responsible decisions concerning their physical, social and sexual health while attending Southern is of the utmost importance to us. Due to our commitment, the Wellness Center is dedicated to motivating, inspiring and teaching our students to become confident advocates in their daily lifestyle decision making. Wellness Wednesdays here at Southern were developed to promote a variety of health related topics through campus wide educational programming, screenings and presentations. We encourage all of our students, faculty and staff to come out every other Wednesday to participate in our events!
