One event offered through the IA Scholars Program is a presentation in Mendenhall Lab that discusses what is offered through the Student Wellness Center here at OSU. I believe this presentation was very useful for me and my future.
One of my favorite things about Ohio State is the amount of resources that are offered to all of its students. These resources are one of the main reasons I chose OSU. Being able to get help with just about anything imaginable is a great attribute and something I looked for in a college.
One resource offered specifically through the Student Wellness Center is Wellness Coaching. This resource helps students find the right path for them by exploring the student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as using the Nine Dimensions of Wellness to set up realistic and exciting goals. As a first year, I have an idea of what I want my future to look like, but do know what steps I should take to get there. Wellness coaching sounds like something I may pursue in my future. I understand the importance of setting goals and want to set up a more specific outline for the years to come.
Another great resource offered through the Student Wellness Center is Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching. This program provides a peer financial coach to thousands of OSU students. It is so important for any student to understand how to manage their money as both a student and as an adult. This resource not only educates students about credit, savings, etc., it also helps students set up financial goals and a financial plan.
Besides these useful resources, the Student Wellness Center also offers a Buckeye Peer Access Line, HIV/STI Testing, Wellness Outreach, Relationship Education, and many more services.
One of the reason I love OSU so much is its ability to make every student feel important and supported. For the amount of students enrolled at Ohio State, each student is treated as a priority and each student is given many resources to help them succeed in college and in life.
All in all, The Student Wellness Center Presentation was a great way to learn more about campus resources! I now understand where I can go to access certain life-improving resources.
