Wellness Card
What is the Wellness Card Program?
The Wellness Card program gives students the opportunity to assess their health and wellness, learn how to maximize health, and become familiar with health and wellness services at Cal Poly Pomona. Our goal is to help you stay well and make informed choices.
Faculty:
Looking for an out-of-class activity that is educational and beneficial for your class? The Wellness Card has been well-received by many faculty on campus. Research shows that healthier students perform better academically*.
