Our Mission
The University of West Georgia's Wolf Wellness is a collaborative endeavor of campus wellness programs and opportunities that address the six dimension model of wellness including: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual and occupational. Wolf Wellness raises awareness by providing students with concerted personal wellness opportunities that will better ensure their well-being and overall success. The goal is for students, to "Go West", and upon arrival to be well, stay well, do well and upon graduation day to go well.
