"Physical fitness, nutrition, sexual health, & mental health all contribute to a person's ability to enjoy life -

a healthy life is a happy one!"

 

Ellis Everett

"Personal health care is important because I believe a healthy body supports a healthy mind and outlook on life.  When we are blessed with a healthy body, we should invest as much time and effort as possible to preserve our body.  If we neglect our body, the rest of our lives will subsequently suffer."

 

Heather Johnson

"I love working for Health Promotion because I get to create and present programs on subjects I'm interested in, while working with some really talented and fun people.  I feel a lot closer to the campus community and I feel that what I'm doing is actually making a difference!"

Ashley Perrone

"I enjoy being healthy because of the way it makes me feel.  You not only feel good about yourself, but you also feel better physically when you take care of your body.  Health Promotion is very important to me because I know that I wouldn't have learned all I know today about my body and my health without the help of others.  I like being able to be that person who helps others become more aware of their health.  Taking a step towards health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself."

 

Sara Roberts

"Working with Health Promotion has changed my life!  I have learned so much about the importance of having a healthy lifestyle.  I love making a lasting impact on my peers and further educating myself every single day!  Working with the Health Promotion team is so much fun and is way more than just a job!"

 

 

Brent Sammann

"Health is our most valuable asset and is often neglected.  Achieving and maintaining overall well-being without some form of guidance can be difficult. 

I value and enjoy informing others about health as a positive

resource for everyday life."

 

Jordan Taylor

"Health Promotion is a great incentive for students to stay healthy as well as provide a safe and comfortable environment for them to find help.  I want to be a doctor and this experience is a great asset to my future career.  I know that Health Promotion helped me, and now I can't wait to help others!"

 

Scott Trebat

"I love being healthy because it gives me a great amount of energy to do all the things I want to accomplish in life.  I have a lot of things I want to do in life, and my body and health never limit me!"

 

Melanie Weast

"The ability to be healthy is something that every human being can achieve and enjoy. The health field is of interest to me because the more I learn about the body, the more helpful I can be for the indiviuals in need of information and guidance. I am excited to learn as much as I possibly can throughout my time as a peer educator and help as many people as there are to help."
