Student Wellness Center
Your Health and Well-being Matter
The Student Wellness Center connects you with information, resources, and programs to support your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
You may face challenges with health care, housing, food, mental health, or personal safety. MC connects you with campus and community resources to help you find support, stay focused on your goals, and succeed in college and beyond.
We urge any student who has difficulty accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, to contact the Student Wellness Center at studentwellnesscenter@montgomerycollege.edu. If you would like one-on-one support connecting to on-campus and community resources or need emergency assistance funding, see the Social Resource Program page.
