Welcome to the Wellness Ambassadors program at Oberlin College! Our ambassadors are a diverse group of students dedicated to promoting health and wellness across campus. Through peer-to-peer support, workshops, and outreach, they empower their fellow students to thrive in all eight dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, social, occupational, intellectual, environmental, spiritual, and financial.
