About Us
Student Wellness & Health Promotion is committed to the engagement and support of Georgia Southern students and we are here to serve you. In response to the current circumstances presented by COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC as well as the University System of Georgia, we are reducing the amount of in-office staff who are physically on our campuses in Savannah and Statesboro, but still maintaining all communication and contact with those in need of our department’s services/support. Please use our department email directory and/or phone to reach us for any needs. Again, we are committed to the success of every Georgia Southern student and will continue doing so regardless of the challenges ahead.
