Many thanks to our exhibitors: River Point Behavioral Health, AAA, American Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, TIAA-CREF, VALIC, ICUBA, Costco, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Catalyst Rx and MHNET Behavioral Health for making our first Health Expo a success!
Dr. A.J. Hunziker of American Chiropractic and Rehabilitation presented a Dine & Learn on Ergonomic Living for Students from 12-1pm during the Health & Wellness Expo. Dine & Learn attendees all received a free lunch from Jason’s Deli courtesy of Student Affairs. Dr. Hunziker expressed to students the importance of good student ergonomics. Ergonomics is used to improve the way people and objects interact by improving the design or way in which people work. Hunziker’s presentation was very interesting and interactive. Several students and guests volunteered to help demonstrate both correct and incorrect ergonomic positions. Dr. Hunziker was presented with a certificate and NSU padfolio for all his help in educating students!
Congratulations to our “Passport to Health” winners: Leigh Kirby, Amy Ros, Jacqueline Taylor, Amy Hancock, Rachelle Bernadel and Shenne Johnson!”
