Enhancing well-being and a supportive environment

Integrating a healthy atmosphere on Lynn University's campus is essential for student happiness. Lynn's 2025 strategic plan called for significant improvements to campus faculties to elevate the Lynn experience. That rings true for one of the most recent spaces established at Lynn—the Snyder Center for Health and Wellness. Opened in 2023, the center serves as a one-stop shop for students, faculty and staff looking to improve both mind and body. For students, it's become an integral part of their daily and weekly on-campus life.

To support overall well-being, students are provided a diverse range of opportunities designed to enhance their physical, emotional and social well-being.

• 50% fitness classes

• 25% educational programming

• 11% intramural sports

• 9% drop-in sports

• 5% club sports

"Within this amazing space, students can explore, engage and refine strategies to meet their wellness needs," said Vice President of Student Affairs Anthony Altieri. "Having a facility dedicated to students' well-being is paramount to nurturing skills that accentuate the university experience and establish pathways to lifelong happiness and fulfillment." 

The center is home to Student Health, helping students maintain their well-being; Student Wellness and Health Promotions, providing students with health education and prevention programs; Counseling Services, which offers free counseling for enrolled students; as well as the Larry and Elaine Smith Fitness Center, which provides an 8,700-square-foot space with fitness classes, cardio machines and weight training. 

Since Fall 2024, there have been over 2,400 visits to the Student Health office, approximately 1,500 counseling sessions conducted and nearly 38,000 check-ins at the fitness center. See more about health and wellness at Lynn.
