Health, Wellness, and Safety

We make sure you have resources that promote physical, emotional, and social wellness so you can be fully engaged in your learning.

Student Recreation Center
Our workout facilities in the Student Recreation Center include a weight room, treadmills, multiple gymnasiums, and cardio equipment. You can also participate in aerobics classes, intramural sports, outdoor adventures, workshops, and more.

Student Health Center
The Student Health Center keeps you healthy—or gets you back on the road to recovery when you need it. Our nurses and collaborating physicians treat acute illnesses and minor injuries, give immunizations, educate patients, and provide reproductive health services, among other things.

Counseling Services
As a student, you have access to counseling services to help improve your mental health and well-being. The counselors provide for a wide range of mental and behavioral matters, including anxiety, depression, adjustment, relationships, alcohol and drug issues, eating disorders, and other problems.

Campus Safety
Truman has a full-service police department that patrols campus 24 hours a day, provides educational materials on crime and safety awareness, gives self-defense training, and maintains the security of our residence halls. In the event of an emergency, a text emergency-response system called TruAlert keeps members of the Truman community informed.

Truman provides its students with an abundance of opportunities that prepare us for success. The number of resources we have on our campus for academic support, emotional support, social support, career support, financial support, and so many others is truly incredible and is something I feel fortunate to have available to me.
