The UCSB Wellness Center is a welcoming space where students can drop in during open hours to relax, recharge, and connect. Visitors can browse the library of books, enjoy a snack or cup of tea, find a quiet spot to study or meditate, and take time to decompress. The space encourages building meaningful relationships and fostering community among peers. It also features two dedicated areas for attending Health & Wellness Department programs, offering opportunities to engage, learn, and grow together.
