At Fordham, we approach education in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, or care of the whole person. You will be encouraged and supported emotionally, physically, and mentally. We want to help you become your best self and prioritize your health and well-being in whatever way you may need, before or after challenges arise.  We offer many layers of support, including… 

  • Public Safety officers who are on duty at all hours and offer on-campus security, tips on navigating the city, and more
  • Peer resources like Resident Assistants, Commuter Assistants, and Commuter First-Year Mentors—experienced students, a few doors down the hall or at our campus center, who can help with problems or simply connect you with your community
  • A campus dietician nutritionist who provides free one-on-one support and guidance to all students seeking nutrition assistance, from food allergies to foods that boost your immune system 
  • Free and confidential sessions with a counselor in psychological services and access to Care Solace, a 24/7 mental health care coordination service
  • The newly renovated Ram Fit centers at both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center

We want to help you be your best physically and emotionally so you can be your best in the classroom, too. Your safety, health, and well-being are our priority.
