Graduate Student Housing Facebook Community

Nutrition

Telehealth Nutrition Assistance

Baylor's partnership with AcademicLiveCare is free to all students. Urgent Care and Counseling resources are readily available to all graduate students, but so is nutrition assistance. Work with a nutritionist to be sure you are meeting your health needs. Fueled bodies and minds means more focused academic work—care for yourself before your research.
