  • Disseminating useful, current health information in a straightforward and accessible manner

  • Cultivating healthy attitudes and behaviors that encourage students to make informed decisions about their health
  • Fostering a culture that values and supports a healthy community

Programs

Go Ask Alice ! is a leading health question and answer Internet service with an archive of over 3,000 in-depth responses to questions sent to Alice !’s e-mail inbox. If it’s on your mind, it’s probably on Go Ask Alice!

CU Move (formerly the 100 m.i.l.e. club) is an online exercise motivation program that offers the University community an opportunity to learn about, design, and track personal fitness activities.

Stressbusters are teams of students who deliver brief neck and back rubs to the campus community for total relaxation. You can get them for free at select public events, and you can bring them—for a small fee—to your organization, residence hall, school, or office.

Interactive Workshops that provide current health information, teach skills necessary to adopt healthy behaviors, and connect students with appropriate on- and off-campus resources are available on various health-related topics.

Student Health Data is collected anonymously and used to assess the health factors impacting the academic performance of students and to design initiatives to support and enhance their health. To request information or to access one of our programs, visit our website.
