At John Carroll University, caring for the whole person is one of our core values. Our entire residential experience is rooted in supporting and developing every dimension of you — and that includes offering resources that focus on the eight dimensions of wellness:
- Emotional - better understanding ourselves and how to cope with life’s challenges
- Physical - staying active, eating healthier, sleeping better, and making healthy choices
- Social - connecting with others and developing a sense of belonging
- Intellectual - finding ways to expand our skills, knowledge, and creativity
- Spiritual - discovering our sense of purpose and meaning in life
- Vocational - pursuing fulfilling work that aligns with your values and lifestyle
- Financial - learning how to manage personal finances and plan for the future
- Environmental - respecting nature and all species living in it
As you move through your journey at JCU, your needs will change and evolve. We’ll be here every step of the way with holistic programs, services, and opportunities.
