Health & Wellness

Transcript

CSUSB is one of six Cal State campuses recognized as having an academic environment that emphasizes their commitment to create a culture of wellness. Let’s meet Dillon, a kinesiology major who is passionate about CSUSB and dedicated to physical and mental wellness. Dillon, you are up.

– Thanks, Alex, I love that introduction. Hey, everyone, when choosing a college to attend, I knew that I needed to find a program in which I would love learning each day. Sports have always been important to me and I knew that CSUSB would allow me to incorporate every aspect of health and wellness into my campus experience. Our Kinesiology Program is one of a kind with exceptional faculty, labs and endless research opportunities. With 10 athletic teams, the internship opportunities are plentiful. I have been able to intern with our sports performance coach and gain first-hand experience into collegiate athletics. CSUSB even has intermural sports like basketball, soccer and volleyball that students, who are not student athletes, can play and compete in with other students. It is a great opportunity to meet people with similar interests. Numerous clubs, such as exercises, medicine, and our Recreation and Wellness Center, make it easy to include exercise into your daily routine. Our very own recreation center has a climbing wall and offers classes, like tactical training that I teach, or yoga, and adventure trips, like snorkeling, where I met my girlfriend. Our wellness center, The Retreat, has massage chairs and nap classes. And then, there’s CSUSB’s psychological services that offers many accommodations to benefit our students’ mental health and physical health, which is free for all Coyotes. CSUSB’s commitment to keep our campus active can’t be matched. CSUSB has allowed me to obtain multiple professional certifications, such as my personal trainer certification, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and exercise physiologist certification, all while staying fit and healthy through our one-of-a-kind health and fitness opportunities. Go, Yotes and go, Alex.

– Great job, Dillon. You sure know how to show your Coyote pride. With 10 athletic teams, intermural sports clubs, a free gym with a pool, wellness center, free psychological and health services, CSUSB has awesome resources available for student health. And, as they say, healthy bodies, healthy minds.
