Health Promotion at SOU
SHWC’s Health Promotion & Prevention is committed to supporting the health and well-being of the SOU campus community by empowering students with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in their student experience.

When students get healthy and stay healthy, it drives change in promoting a healthier campus community.
Our staff’s vision is to create a space that fosters awareness, healthy learning, skill-building, collaboration, and advocacy for shifting the needle to create an environment that supports a students overall well-being. In addition to those services, we work from a prevention paradigm and want students, faculty, and staff to thrive in all dimensions of health.
