The Center for Wellness and Counseling

The Center for Wellness and Counseling is designed to assist students in obtaining their optimal level of personal effectiveness or “wellness.” Wellness encompasses the total lifestyle, including physical well-being, social relationships, vocational choices, emotional awareness, spiritual growth, intellectual challenge, environment, and safety. While at Bradley, students have many opportunities to grow in some or all of these dimensions. To assist them, the Center provides an array of valuable services. These include wellness assessment, personal counseling, group programs, educational workshops, and substance abuse counseling. All of the programs at the Center are free and confidential.

The Center for Academic Transition Programs and Assessment Services

The Center for Academic Transition Programs and Assessment Services is comprised of three elements: the Center for Testing, Division Research for Student Affairs, and the Gateway Program. By completing the testing process at the Center for Testing, students who are undecided about a major or want to identify their strengths can receive valuable information about themselves. With tests specifically selected for each student’s needs, the results match primary career interests, abilities, and personality styles. Division Research compiles data and composes reports about the diverse spectrum of factors that can affect students’ academic and personal development, as well as their ultimate goals. The Gateway program assists academically under-prepared students with their transition from high school to college.
