Find Your Balance

In order to create a healthy and sustainable world, we need to start with our own self-care. At Cornell, student wellness is imperative – for our community and for our academic mission. Here you will find tips to help you thrive and maximize your Cornell experience. 

Balance Boosts

• Prioritize sleep

• Spend time outside

• Put down electronics for a while

• Care for each other

• Reach out for support during stressful times – always ask for help whenever you need

• Turn to your community when times are tough: at Cornell University, we are all here to help each other succeed

Cornell's framework for sustainability includes creating a just, healthy world for everyone. How can you listen, act, and learn in solidarity to show that people of all nations, class, race, religion, and sexual orientation matter during your time at Cornell?  We all have a role in our caring community.
