The topics we cover include, but are not limited to:
- Nutrition & Healthy Eating

- Mental Health & Stress Management
- Body Image & Eating Disorders
- Healthy Relationships & Sexual Violence

To schedule a health presentation/program for your class, club, student group, or residence hall, please email Sarah Kenney, the campus Health Educator.
Peer Health Educators
The BACCHUS Peer Health Educators are a group of students who have been trained in a variety of health/wellness and social issues affecting Radford University students. Students will receive 1-hr class credit upon completion of the training course, called "Leadership Seminar: Peer Educator - Health" ESHE 496. Contact Sarah Kenney for details.
SHAC (Student Health Awareness Club)
SHAC is a student club that consists of a motivated group of students who are interested in promoting college health. We help organize fun health activities on campus and act as a liaison between the health center and the student body. We encourage others to lead healthy lifestyles and set examples of positive health behaviors. If you like to meet new people, gain volunteer experience and learn new skills, then SHAC might just be the club for you! The membership is FREE. To become a SHAC member please email SHAC club president Michelle Ferguson.
