The Butler Center is committed to the cultivation of an antiracist campus through education, advocacy, and celebration.  The Wellness Resource Center works to create an holistic environment which nurtures the development of the whole person and empowers individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices. The Office of Campus Activities enriches the student experience by providing a variety of involvement opportunities, free events, and activities that promote holistic student development, learning, wellness, and fun!
