Health and Wellness

Health and Wellness

At the Graduate School, we believe balance makes you a better student.  Graduate study often creates unique stresses, including feelings of cultural or geographic isolation, academic pressures, relationship or family concerns, and more.

Balance means taking care of your body and spirit as well as your mind.  Cornell has a number of health, wellness, and fitness resources that can help reduce stress, get fit, and stay well.
