Health Education & Promotion

Staying healthy takes knowledge. Our health promotions program offers education and awareness services. These services are designed to enrich the lives of students. The Health Services staff focuses on proactive health education and disease prevention.

We work closely with other campus departments and the community to provide educational forums, workshops, referrals, training programs, and resource materials to educate students. Topics include alcohol, men's and women's health, cancer, nutrition, exercise, mental health issues, healthy relationships, eating disorders, stress, and more.

If you are interested in working with these issues and mentoring your fellow students on the importance of responsible, healthy lifestyle development and behavior, please click on our TopperWell page for more information about becoming a Peer Health Educator. Internships and student practicums are also available.

For more information, or to schedule a presentation or program, please call Kathryn Steward, Health Education Coordinator at: 745-5033 or email at: kathryn.steward@wku.edu
