The University of Iowa is committed to supporting student success by ensuring that all Hawkeyes have access to essential resources.
Our aim is to support lifelong learning by promoting and sustaining optimal physical and mental health, personal connections, meaningful experiences, and purposeful living.
When students have a strong sense of well-being, they are better equipped to bring their authentic selves to class, stay physically and mentally prepared, communicate effectively, and achieve higher academically. Student well-being is a critical component of preparing students to be future problem-solvers and lead fulfilling, successful lives.
