Thank you to our Students

#HealthyPSU

FoamBoard Sign w Names 2016As the semester winds down, we’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank our student staff at University Health Services for their dedication throughout the 2015-16 academic year.

Each day our clinic and physical therapy volunteers, HealthWorks peer educators, and EMTs are hard at work assisting patients, educating students to make healthy decisions, and providing vital services for the campus and local community. Their efforts are instrumental to University Health Services’ ability to heal, educate, and care for students and the Penn State community.

Thank you to all of our student staff—we wouldn’t be able to do it without you!

Love Your Body Week: October 19th-23rd

#HealthyPSU, Body Image

HealthWorks peer educators spent the week encouraging students to love, appreciate, nurture, and respect their body.   Students who attended fitness classes in White Building during this week were welcomed with positive messages on the mirrors and hearts decorating the walls, encouraging them to think more positively about their bodies.  Peer educators encouraged students to write why they love their body on a sticky note or write a negative thought they have about their body on a balloon and pop it at the Love Your Body table in various locations on campus throughout the week.  Those who live in the Residence Halls may have noticed sticky notes with positive messages adorning the mirrors on their floor.  To find out more about how you can foster a body positive environment for others and yourself check out: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/developing-and-maintaining-positive-body-image
