Wellness Highlights
- Fitness challenges encourage students, faculty, and staff to stay active by competing in guided one to three-week exercise competitions.
- Nutrition workshops connect the Emory community with registered dieticians, offer advice on healthy eating habits, and provide new, healthy, and affordable recipes.
- The Wellness Program partners with Emory’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to address stress risk and management and ensure that student’s mental health needs are met.
The Wellness Program is integral to the creation of a sustainable, healthy living community at Emory. It focuses on three areas: physical activity, healthy eating, and stress management.
