Health Equity Education seeks to cultivate a community in which all members of the community take an active role in fostering an ethic of wellbeing, where all members of the community can succeed, thrive and matter. To build a culture of wellbeing we must engage in a comprehensive approach that builds individual capacity and self-efficacy, fosters meaningful relationships, as well as prioritizes environments and policies which make healthy choice the easy choice.
LGBTQ+ Student Services offers several sessions that explore the experiences of LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning/Queer) identifying people, particularly at the University of Dayton. As a Catholic and Marianist institution, UD believes strongly in supporting all members of our community, including our LGBTQ+ members. Being LGBTQ+ or an Ally and being Catholic are not mutually exclusive identities. Presentations introduce LGBTQ+ identities and concepts through the lens of Catholic and Marianist teaching, and can focus on sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or allyship.
Mental Health Education offers content to help students build a foundational understanding on what mental health is, how everyone is a part of the conversation, and what resources are available to them at the University of Dayton. Topics also covered include thriving versus surviving, stress management, self care, supporting others, and the impact of self-affirmation.
Sexual Violence Prevention Education has many different presentations that address violence prevention, including gender socialization, neurobiology of trauma, supporting survivors, hook up culture and perpetration patterns, rape culture, healthy relationships, and Green Dot (bystander intervention). We are happy to personalize the presentation to your course content. We all have the power and responsibility to do something to stop power based personal violence, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking at UD. Help us improve our campus culture!

We empower students to make well-informed decisions about alcohol and other drug use through our presentations and programs.

Presentations include topics such as mid-college crisis and reporting concerning behavior in your peers. but with advance notice, additional topics can be created with class interest or course syllabus.
UD Dining Services believes that good nutrition is the key to good mental and physical health, and eating a balanced diet is an important part of good health for everyone. Our program is designed to help students familiarize themselves with basic nutrition knowledge. In this course we will cover information on developing healthy eating habits and achieving your goals, practical cooking skills, healthy meal ideas, and practical grocery shopping skills
Flyer Finances believes in educating the whole person. Beyond what students are learning in the classroom, we also want to ensure that they are learning important skills to manage their finances. Students exposed to financial education are less likely to default on their student loans and more likely to graduate on time. In this session, we will start with the basics - budgeting, understanding and managing credit, and student loans.
Student Leadership Programs offers a session that will assist students in developing the qualities of leadership that are essential for organizational, career, and personal success. During the session, students will connect their goals and values to the class curriculum which enables students to reflect upon their leadership development and to integrate their learning inside and outside of the classroom.
