In 1992, ASUW sponsored a survey of students, and results indicated that a clear majority of students were concerned about alcohol and other drug abuse. A portion of that fee is used to provide entertainment and fun programming at UW, and the rest is dedicated to quality prevention programming. Information provided is based on a 1998 data collected by the Drug Education Resource Center, and figures from Laramie Police, Wyoming Department of Transportation Highway Safety Division, UW Police and the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Health Promotion Research demonstrates that as students are healthier, they are more productive academically. Also, healthier and more educated students are more prone to stay in school and graduate on time.
Wellness is a multi-dimensional term that includes many aspects of a person's life.
Wellness is not just eating right or exercising, but is a dynamic and complex model incorporating the entire person. Remember that Wellness is a life-long venture. The University Wellness Center is currently undergoing rapid development in the number of services we provide in regard to the physical fitness component of wellness. The following are a list of current services available and those under development. We hope to continue to expand the number of services provided in this area so make sure you stay informed as to our development.
