Health awareness is now more accessible with the development of Health Education, a component of the Wellness Center. In contrast to the Health Center's treatment of illnesses, the Wellness Center is dedicated to the support of health and the prevention of illness. Assistant Director of Student Wellness Amanda Smith said she is excited about the expansion of the Wellness Center.
Before the center was motivated to the Student Services Building health education couldn't be provided whenever Smith stepped out of the office. With the expansion of the Wellness Center UTD has been able to add a wellness coordinator, Kacey Luker, and an administrative assistant, allowing the center to stay open.
Along with Smith, Luker wants students to connect in more health and fitness activities across the campus. Luker will assist students who want to obtain a health and exercise program by fitting it just for them. The Wellness Center team has been increasingly requested to speak at different activities and events around campus Smith said. At these engagements they cover various topics ranging from women's and men's health to mental disorders. The Wellness Center also raises awareness about alcohol, drugs and sexual responsibilities.
