Health/Wellness Resources and Volunteer Opportunities

Health and Wellness Services

Yoga

The Office of Student Affairs encourages students to be mindful of their wellness, especially in such a rigorous academic environment. OSA sponsors a yoga class each semester in order to promote mind/body wellness. Class is free, and all students are encouraged to participate.

Health Insurance

See Health Insurance.

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) also offers programs, short-term counseling, and referral programs to help IHP students and their families. Please see their website at www.eap.partners.org or stop by OSA for more information.

Volunteer Opportunities

Community Outreach is an important part of your education at the Institute. The Office of Student Affairs offers opportunities throughout the year for students to give back to the community. A Thanksgiving Food Drive is sponsored annually for a local pantry, and in the past we have had students coordinate a coat drive, as well as donate to a local youth shelter. Students are encouraged to bring ideas for volunteer opportunities to OSA, and we will be happy to help you coordinate.

The Schweitzer Fellowship is another opportunity for students to make a difference in the community. Students who are chosen as Schweitzer Fellows complete a year of service within the local community in a field of their choosing, and are given a stipend by the Schweitzer Foundation. For those students interested in applying, information sessions are held on campus later in the fall semester, and applications are due in February.
