Health Initiatives

The Hartwick College Office of Health Promotion programs help students in the life-long development of a healthy lifestyle.

We provide opportunities for personal growth and development by engaging and connecting the entire Hartwick community.

Topics covered over the course of an academic year include alcohol and other drug education, relationships and sexual responsibility, nutrition, sleep, and other health-related topics. These may take a number of forms, from interactive to peer-facilitated discussion.

We conduct campus-wide awareness campaigns for Love Your Body Week, World AIDS Day, Safe Spring Break Week, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Bras Across Campus and others. Our events include informational fairs, community events, free giveaways, Zumbathons, and more.

My favorite part about working in Campbell is being in the environment that I feel comfortable in because I love being in the weight room.”
