In keeping with our goal to have accurate, current health information readily available to students, the Student Health Service maintains a Health Media Center, which is a health information resource center for students. It is located within the Student Health Service and is open for use during normal office hours. Students are free to walk in and use this resource room at their convenience; no appointment is necessary. Stop in any time!
