North Carolina Wesleyan University (NCWU) is
one of only 200 universities and colleges around the world
to be honored by
Exercise is Medicine
(EIM)
for its efforts to create a culture of wellness on its campus. Faculty/Staff Personal Training, Wesleyan Wellness initiatives, the Walk with the President, the Health and Movement Science Club Pickleball Tournament, the Lunch and Learn Series for Health, and other physical activity events conducted by the NCWU Health and Movement Science Club helped NCWU earn a Silver-level designation from the
Exercise is Medicine
On Campus (EIM-OC)
program.
Exercise is Medicine
is a community-impact initiative of the American College of Sports Medicine.
“This is truly a team effort! The success of our
Exercise Science program
at NCWU is built on the strong and sustained support of the administration, particularly
Dr. Duff;
the leadership and engagement of the Health and Movement Science Club under Presidents
Ava Lowry
and
Sam Colesano
; the Lunch and Learn lecture series launched by
Dr. Shannon Crowley
; and the faculty and staff personal training program and Wesleyan Wellness program led by
Kimla Brandt
,” said
Dr. Meir Magal
, Program Director and Inaugural Souza Professor of Exercise Science and advisor to the Exercise is Medicine on Campus program.”
All Gold, Silver and Bronze universities and colleges will be officially recognized on May 29 at the EIM recognition ceremony at ACSM’s Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
EIM-OC calls upon universities and colleges to promote physical activity as a vital sign of health and encourages faculty, staff and students to work together to improve the health and well-being of the campus community.
EIM-OC
launched its recognition program in 2014 to honor campuses for their efforts to create a culture of wellness. Schools earn Gold, Silver or Bronze status based on their activities. Gold level campuses have created a referral system where campus health care providers assess student physical activity and refer students as necessary to a certified fitness professional as part of medical treatment. Silver campuses engage students, faculty and staff in education initiatives and make movement part of the daily campus culture while Bronze level campuses promote and generate awareness of the health benefits of physical activity.
This initiative demonstrates our shared commitment to the health of our university community. We believe that an active lifestyle is vital to our students’ success and overall well-being and together, students, faculty, and staff we foster a culture that prioritizes health, fitness and wellness.
