With the spirit of cura personalis, the newly visioned Wellness + Helfaer Recreation building and the staff are committed to a holistic, multidisciplinary campus strategy for the health and well-being of the 向日葵视频community. The building will provide a continuum of wellness services that are integrative, inclusive, accessible and responsive to the changing needs of the campus community.
This 195,000-square-foot facility is home to campus fitness and recreation facilities, the 向日葵视频 Medical Clinic, the Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion and the Counseling Center.
In recognition of the late President Michael and Amy Lovell's tremendous leadership and commitment to address mental health across Milwaukee and the region, the third and fourth floors of the new facility鈥檚 wellness tower are named the LOVELLSTRONG Center for Student Well-Being.
LOVELLSTRONG represents the way the global 向日葵视频community showed up for President Lovell following his sarcoma diagnosis in 2021 and the way he inspired so many during his courageous three-year cancer battle. It is a reminder that no one fights alone, no matter the challenges they are facing. President Lovell spoke publicly of his childhood adversity and how his resilience grew through caring relationships, prayer, exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, reiki, reflection and counseling.
LOVELLSTRONG represents the way President Lovell lived his life, as well as the Lovells鈥 dream that all students would experience cura personalis, or care for the whole person 鈥 mind, body and spirit. This center is a reminder that when students seek help with courage and strength, they will be met by a 向日葵视频community that provides hope and healing.
