The Health & Wellness Connection:
Academic Communities bring together often-isolated elements of the student experience. Students can make connections between formal academic experiences and other opportunities for learning, which allows them to relate academic study to life interests and goals.
The Health and Wellness Connection unites people wishing to meet others who share similar interests in personal and community health. If you're considering a career in nursing, physical therapy, athletic sports training, or lab technology, then this group is for you.
For more information, contact Chris Henyon at chenyon@carrollcc.edu or Mary Kemp at mkemp@carrollcc.edu. For Health and Exercise Science curriculum information contact Sharon Brunner at sbrunner@carrollcc.edu .
Enroll in the Health and Wellness Connection Blackboard site to receive announcements of meetings. For more information go to www.carrollcc.edu/blackboard and check out the Communities tab.
