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.
