Our students matter.
Promoting student health and wellness is one of the Student Services Department’s primary
initiatives. Many members of your UCONN Law staff have experienced law school firsthand, and
understand the emotional and physical challenges that accompany this momentous journey.
Simply put, you’re not alone. Whether online, or in person, we’re here for you if you need help. Stop by
our offices for any issue, great or small.
In addition to our departmental resources, we’ve compiled a list of local health and wellness experts
in the area for the times when you just need that point in the right direction.
BE WELL.
