Chefs making healthy food

Staying healthy is an important part of being successful.  It all starts with the University Health Service (UHS), a comprehensive health care clinic for students.  Student Affairs also includes Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), a free counseling service; and several online resources, including MiTalk and the Mental Health Working Group websites.

Part of staying healthy is being safe, and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) aims to prevent students from encountering such physical and emotional harm.

All of our students have what it takes to reach graduation. At Student Affairs we hope that helping you stay healthy makes it a lot easier.

April is MHappy Month at Michigan

What makes YOU happy?

MHappy Month is a celebration of the new ideas, events and paradigms that move us towards a future where wellbeing of both the planet and its citizens are realized. Many campus events tend to focus on problems—the War in Vietnam, global warming, for example. Too much bad news leaves many of us immobilized and unable to act effectively. While we will absolutely fight to overcome the injustices and prejudice in our communities, we also need a vision of the future that sustains us.
