Wellness Navigator

Hello! I’m Kakky, the Wellness Navigator for the William Magee Center. I assist students in accessing campus wellness resources, collaborating with partners like the Student Health Center, UMatter, University Counseling Center, Clinic for Outreach & Personal Enrichment, and Violence Intervention & Prevention. I also assist with connecting students to higher levels of care. I oversee WellChat responses and coordinate with Certified Peer Educators, who are dedicated to supporting fellow students with wellness in college.

RebelADE

RebelADE is a student-centered, alcohol and drug education program designed to help students develop a healthy lifestyle by recognizing and reducing the potential harm associated with their alcohol or other substance use.

  • We use an assessment tool to develop an individualized plan for each student to help sharpen their skills and possibly introduce a few new ones they can use in their everyday life.

Our goal is for each student to use this individualized plan in the future to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. For more information about RebelADE, please email rebelade@olemiss.edu or call 662-915-6543.

Narcan Access

The William Magee Center has a supply of Narcan (naloxone), a medicine that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Narcan is safe, relatively easy to administer, and lifesaving.

  • Our supply is available to students, faculty, and staff free of charge, and we will not collect any personal information about individuals who request Narcan.
  • If you or someone you know may be exposed to an opioid overdose, we encourage you to stop by the William Magee Center during office hours to receive a free box.
  • Instructions on how to use this medication properly are included with each box. Watch the Narcan training video here.
  • Harbor Path partnered with Ole Miss and the William Magee Center to help spread this important message:

  • Our supply of Narcan is supported by the Missisissippi State Department of Health and a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant.

Narcan Training

The William Magee Center partners with the School of Pharmacy to offer Narcan training for UM departments and registered student organizations.
