A New Wellness Strategy: Empowering Denison Students to Develop the Habits and Skills to Manage Their Well-Being

- Developing a campus-wide strategic plan for wellness,
- Launching a partnership with the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, and
- Opening the stunning Ann & Thomas Hoaglin Wellness Center
These all focus on helping students develop the habits and skills to manage their well-being.
