Welcome to Sea Aggie Wellness    

At Texas A&M Galveston, we believe wellness is invaluable during the college experience and beyond. The World Health Organization defines wellness as "...the optimal state of health of individuals and groups." We recognize 8 "dimensions" of wellness that are interconnected and play a crucial role to an individual or groups optimal health. Each of these dimensions of wellness are equally important and should be treated as such. At Texas A&M Galveston, there are many passionate faculty and staff who work diligently to create and environment that promotes wellness on campus and within our communities.

In addition, they appreciate the fine arts, and value intuition, empathy and understanding as forms of knowing.

The occupationally well person fulfils a socially defined role that is both stimulating and inherently rewarding. They choose a role (or several roles) that are consistent with beliefs, goals, lifestyle, personality and values.
