Reception

Artwork Contest

This year the Student Health and Wellness Centre is launching an artwork contest to uOttawa and Saint Paul University students. Enter our contest for a chance to have your artwork in the Student Health Wellness Centre!

What does Health and Wellness mean to you?

All you need is creativity!  

For many people, Health and Wellness means physical health, mental health, holistic care, happiness, relaxation, emotional balance, stress reduction, quality of life and spiritual health. 

It is now your turn to show us what health and wellness means to you.
