Health and wellness are key components to students’ success at the University of South Florida. A healthy student has greater learning capacity, manages stress more effectively, and enjoys University life more fully. We each know a classmate, family member, teammate or friend who has struggled with illness or injury. It is hard to balance the complexities of life when one is not feeling well, mentally, physically or perhaps even spiritually. The University offers wonderful services and programs to enhance students’ health and wellness. Did you know there is a dietician who can help with dietary needs in Health Promotion, a part of Student Health Services? Have you heard about the personal growth counseling group in the Counseling Center that discusses concerns such as self-esteem,

interpersonal relationships, self-knowledge, and social skills? Have you ever visited USF’s Riverfront Park to go canoeing, experience the ropes course or enjoy a picnic?
