Health Education

Students who take an active role in their own well-being live healthier, more productive lives – and Paul Smith’s College offers a wide range of initiatives to help them accomplish that.

Our comprehensive health education initiatives improve the health knowledge, attitudes, and skills of the students. Through providing information and health services, we hope to lead students to positive change and/or reinforce existing knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding overall personal health.

Student Development staff work with Health Services, Athletics, Campus Life, Campus Ministry, Student Activities, Recreation and Intramurals, Residence Life, Academic Support Services, and Sodexho to provide a comprehensive wellness program. Programs are provided by professional staff as well as Bacchus and Gamma peer educators. We also work to build coalitions and coordinate the provision of health services; identify resources; act as an advocate for health issues; and communicate health education needs.

Our schedules are flexible to meet student needs. You can make an appointment by calling 327-6340. You may also schedule an appointment through the Office Manager at 327-6358.
