LEARNING TO LIVE WELL
Corning Community College is striving to achieve a culture of wellness on campus. In a collaborative effort, many departments on campus will work in coordination with each other to bring wellness initiatives to the Corning Community College Campus and Community. Some of these offices include Wellness Education, Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Health Services, Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation, Student life, Campus Ministry, and Advising and Counseling. One of our wellness initiatives is an annual Wellness Fair coming up on Wednesday, April 17th from 10-2 in the Wellness Education Center Gymnasium. Local community businesses and campus departments participate to provide our campus and community with wellness resources.
Our collaborative goal is to empower students, faculty and staff to achieve higher levels of personal wellness by providing the resources necessary to foster growth leading to a culture of wellness on campus and in the community.
