Program Abstract:
It’s common for administrators of college health organizations to have health promotion as one of their reporting units, however, individuals in this role may have little training in health promotion practice and be uncertain how to best support and represent health promotion staff and their respective programs. This preconference session will provide an overview of the health promotion field and help college health leaders ensure that their campus’s health promotion programs have the appropriate staff and resources to meet the needs of their respective student populations and that they are meeting the Standards of Practice for Health Promotion in Higher Education.
