Student Wellness Network

Membership

Active members of the Student Wellness Network pay $20 in dues per semester. Active members also have the option of paying $30 in dues for both Fall and Spring semester. This money is put toward funding health and wellness events on campus, providing resources to students, equipment rentals, and social events. There are no minimum obligations for members other than paying dues, and you can attend as many meetings and events as you like. However, some benefits are only available to members. 

Benefits

Members are eligible to run for office, vote in elections, and list the organization on their resume. Members are also eligible for sponsored travel opportunities, such as attending the BACCHUS General Assembly. Campus events are always open to the entire student body; however, smaller social events and retreats sponsored by the organization are only open to paying members.

Attend a Meeting

Feel free to check out a meeting! You do not have to be a member to attend, and we are always looking for new ideas and ways to collaborate with other organizations. The Student Wellness Network meets every Tuesday at 7:30 PM in the Student Recreation Center Conference Room (during the academic year).

Connect with the Student Wellness Network on BGSU Presence.

Contact Faith DeNardo, Wellness Connection Director, to learn more and to get involved.
