I Think SCU Is a Great University Because: the unique Jesuit focus on caring for the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, makes SCU a truly special place. Students, staff, and faculty are not treated like one dimensional beings but rather as people who are complex and deserve recognition in all aspects of life.

Using the Eight Dimensions of Wellness as a framework, take a moment to recognize yourself as an integrated being in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (care for the whole person). It is so important to recognize that we cannot show up well in our work, including applications if we are not operating from a place of wellness. While applications are important and will help you achieve your intellectual and financial wellness goals, there are other areas of wellness that can easily take a backseat. Losing sight of these factors can be detrimental to health, quality of life, and even academic performance. So let's look at simple ways we can improve our wellness and show up well in everything we do, even applications!
