Personal Wellness Program

Hi, my name's Sarah and I'm a wellness intern.

It's my job to promote wellness events and wellness partner's programs (like Recreation, CAPS, and Student Health Services).  The Personal Wellness Program, sponsored by Recreation, caught my attention because of the small number of students admitted each quarter and the personal attention of a trainer.

This program is FREE! Not only do you get to work closely with a trainer, but you receive a book with tons of wellness tips, and a shirt! =) 

Each week we are given 'homework' by our instructor, like doing cardio 3 times a week, as well as writing down what we eat for each day.  Keeping track of my food is an effective way to realize that I may not be getting all of the fruits and veggies I need each day.  It is also a deterrent to grab that second handful of chips when I know that my instructor will be reading my log at the end of the week!

We meet once a week for an hour with instructors to learn new fitness and wellness techniques.

If you've ever had the desire to get into shape and find balance in your life between exercise, healthy eating, and stress this program is for you!

Financial Wellness: Education Pays

Did You Know...
Higher levels of education lead to higher earnings. Over a working life, the typical full-time year-round worker with a four-year college degree earns more than 60 percent more than a worker with only a high school diploma.

• Those with master’s degrees earn almost twice as much per year, and those with professional degrees earn almost three times as much as high school graduates earn over their working lives.

• Median lifetime earnings for the typical individual with some college but no degree are 19 percent higher than median lifetime earnings for high school graduates with no college experience.

• The typical college graduate who enrolls at age 18 and graduates in four years earns enough in 11 years to not only compensate for borrowing to pay the full tuition at a public college, but also to make up for wages forgone while in college.

• College-educated workers are more likely than others to be offered pension plans. Among those who are offered pension plans, college degree-holders are more likely to participate.
