Wellness resources

Wellness resources within CSE

You are a person first and a student second. Life as a student can be demanding, and it’s normal to face challenges or transitions that feel difficult. The College of Science and Engineering (CSE) provides wellness resources created specifically for CSE students and accessible right here in the college.
