Safety & Wellness

Gordon College is here to support your health and well-being. Consistently ranked as one of the safest colleges in Massachusetts, our campus strives to provide professional and consistent levels of care with every student interaction. 

We believe wellness is the integration of the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, social, vocational, academic and relational dimensions of health to form a whole healthy person. It is the pursuit of health, whereby an individual actively seeks a collection of preventive practices and processes in which all dimensions of that person’s health are addressed to achieve optimal well-being and minimize conditions of illness. Wellness involves being aware of ourselves and others as whole people. Our collective wellness is the foundation for a thriving community.
