What Students Are Saying
RATE
US20 votesI enjoyed being able to develop educational material for the student body and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team.
HealthyU Crew Ambassador Fall 2021/Winter 2022
I liked being surrounded by a group of positive team members that shared the same interest in health as I do. I enjoyed being given the opportunity to collaborate in researching and sharing information on physical health to students and others within the community so that more are educated on how to improve well-being.
