Providing resources to support the mental and physical health and wellness of its students, faculty, and staff is a priority for the Beaver College of Health Sciences.
In Fall 2024, the college formed a Mental Health and Wellness committee designed to find ways to offer resources available to students. Led by Public Health faculty member Dr. Jennifer Zwetsloot, a dedicated group of faculty and staff are working collaboratively on various initiatives.
