VSU’s Campus Wellness community is an organization that promotes and supports the awareness of a healthy lifestyle by offering a variety of programs that address the overall wellness of the university’s faculty, staff and student community.
Jon D. Paris, associate director of VSU’s counseling center, said that the campus wellness community is helpful to VSU especially during the pandemic, as the community has seen an increase in anxiety and stress in the community.
“As an organization, Campus Wellness has been able to provide faculty, staff and students with multiple trainings and ways to incorporate exercise into their routine,” Paris said. “We have also been able to provide the community with safe on-campus events to enhance their well-being.”
