About Us

health education action team (heat)

HEAT is a group of trained peer health educators who work directly with the Center for Student Well-Being to empower USF students to take charge of their health. Through interactive presentations, events, and campus outreach, HEAT promotes holistic wellness—because being well isn’t just about avoiding illness, it’s about thriving in every area of life.

From mental health and sexual health to stress management and substance safety, HEAT helps students discover practical tools, campus resources, and everyday habits that support success both inside and outside the classroom.

Real students. Real conversations. Real impact.
Let HEAT help you make wellness a part of your college journey.
