Well-A-Palooza was created to increase awareness of all the student wellness resources across campus. At the University of Kentucky, we strive to break down the barrier of access to wellness support for all students. Students are encouraged to connect with peer health educators to achieve the healthiest version of themselves.
Well-A-Palooza is a collaborative effort organized through the WellKentucky campus coalition and primarily funded by the Office for Student Success and Panhellenic Council. Students can RSVP on BBNvolved.

It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
