WE’LL BEGIN WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS, THEN JUMP INTO HANDS-ON NUTRITION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES, FOLLOWED BY A PHYSICAL FITNESS SESSION AT THE WELLNESS CENTER, AND END WITH A REFLECTION ON CREATING BALANCED, HEALTHY ROUTINES. THIS WORKSHOP WILL EQUIP STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS TO MAKE WELLNESS A PRIORITY FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS.

EARLY COLLEGE EXPOSURE INCREASES COLLEGE ENROLLMENT
A REPORT BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE ACCESS NETWORK (ACAN) FOUND THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO COLLEGE CAMPUSES AS EARLY AS MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE MORE LIKELY TO PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION. SPECIFICALLY, STUDENTS WHO VISIT AT LEAST ONE COLLEGE DURING THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS ARE 24% MORE LIKELY TO ENROLL IN COLLEGE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
