Our mission is to enhance the personal, professional and academic lives of students, faculty and staff through structured and self-directed activities, educational programs and services, skill- and leadership-building activities, and campus-wide initiatives.

We strive to foster healthy lifestyle choices and wellness in the lives of those in our campus community through collaboration within University Health Services, within the Division of Student Affairs, and with many other campus partners.

In order to meet the highest standards as expressed in our Mission, we are proactive in obtaining formalized information through systematic assessment .  This information guides our decisions regarding programs and services. The WRS Annual Report provides a "snapshot" of campus participation in our programs throughout the year.
