After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Describe how student affairs models may influence how students can engage in health promotion practice within different campus contexts.
  2. Identify how public health models of stakeholder engagement can inform student engagement opportunities.
  3. Describe assessment and evaluation considerations for differing types of student engagement opportunities across a socioecological model.
  4. Discuss applied examples of student engagement across a socioecological model.

Program Abstract:
Standards of Practice in Health Promotion call for a socioecological approach. And yet, when we think of how students contribute to creating a healthy culture and community, we often stop at individual-level strategies such as peer education. This panel will explore options and opportunities to engage students, across the socioecological model, for healthier campus communities. Within the broader conversation, panelists will reference alignment with Student Affairs models and assessment approaches.

This session is sponsored by the American College Health Foundation Health Promotion in Higher Education Fund.
