Welcome to Weber State University's Health Education and Drug and Alcohol home page. We are located in the Student Services building, suite 150B, WSU Ogden.
The student
wellness program at
Weber State
University views
every student as a
whole person with
the inherent
capability to
succeed in all areas
of life:
intellectual,
social, spiritual,
physical, and
emotional. We
believe there is a
strong relationship
between the mind and
body. By striving to
keep oneself healthy
and strong increases
a person’s potential
to achieve his or
her goals and enjoy
a fulfilling life.
Our programming
focuses on
functional health
education with an
emphasis on
increasing critical
thinking skills,
self-awareness,
confidence, and
behavior change
knowledge and
ability. We believe
by helping students
build these skills,
they will not only
succeed during their
years at Weber State
but in their future
professional and
personal endeavors.
