POWER Prevention, Outreach, and Wellness Education Resources

Established in 2022, Prevention, Outreach, and Wellness Education Resources (POWER) is a Student Success unit positioned as an easily accessible one-stop location providing educational opportunities focused on promoting healthy behaviors among students.

POWER resides under the Student Well-Being area, including Campus Recreation, the Counseling Center, Financial Wellness, TRACS (Triage, Referral, and Crisis Support), the Disability Resource Center, and the Violence Intervention and Prevention Center.
