The office coordinates campus wide efforts to address issues related to alcohol and other drug use and provides support for those students experiencing difficulties due to their substance use.
Alcohol & drug education programs offered include:
- BASICS & Motivational Interviewing

Student Leadership Development
The Wellness Office places emphasis on developing the whole person which is why we are also home to Becker’s Student Leadership Development Program. Students are nominated by faculty & staff or can self refer to our program. A variety of workshops, conferences and activities are offered to those students who wish to develop their leadership skills while discovering one’s self through the five main areas of wellness: Intellectual, Social, Spiritual, Emotional & Physical.
The Leadership Program is continuously evolving but past programs have included:
- FISH Philosophy workshops
- Davis Farmland Mega Maze (teambuilding)
- Leadership Conferences
