Check out what NC State is doing to promote healthy choices.

NC State is part of the Healthier Campus Initiative for Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) project, which is all about promoting healthy choices. This week, September 21-25, is Healthy Campus Week, so we at NC State are doing our part to promote health and wellness on campus. Throughout the week, PHA will lead a range of digital activities and we want YOU to help spread the word! To help boost participation, PHA is hosting a photo sweepstakes encouraging individuals to share images of themselves engaging in healthy activities on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #HealthyCampus. This starts on Monday and lasts the entire week! Be sure to check out what University Dining and University Recreation are doing to promote this event as well:
