Oklahoma State University-Tulsa issued the following news release:

Oklahoma State University-Tulsa students returning for class today will find a healthier campus focused on wellness.

During the summer, OSU-Tulsa transitioned to a   tobacco-free campus. University officials said the move was an effort to provide a healthier and safer environment for all members of the campus community.

"We've had a very positive response to going   tobacco free," said Angelyn Holmes, OSU-Tulsa campus life and wellness coordinator. "It's exciting to kick off the school year by welcoming our new and returning students to a campus culture focused on wellness."

With the new policy, OSU-Tulsa prohibits the use of all   tobacco products anywhere on campus.   Tobacco use includes, but is not limited to, using or carrying a lighted cigarette,   cigar, pipe or other lighted   smoking device, or the use of smokeless   tobacco, including snuff, chewing   tobacco, smokeless pouches, or any other form of loose-leaf, smokeless   tobacco.

Holmes also wants to remind students of their membership opportunities at OSU-Tulsa's Wellness Center.

"From fitness equipment to intramural sports, the Wellness Center provides the programs, services and facilities for our students to lead a healthy lifestyle while having fun," Holmes said.

The Wellness Center is located in North Hall 116 and is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
