Program Abstract:
Many collegiate recreation centers today are more than a gym, and college students are coming to campus looking for integrated recreation and wellness opportunities. Yet the partnership between health promotion professionals and campus recreation professionals is just emerging. Significant opportunities to impact student wellbeing and academic success exist with the collaboration between collegiate recreation and health promotion professionals. Participants in this session will gain examples of how to build successful partnerships to promote well-being.
