Central New Mexico Community College
Going off to college signals a time of newfound independence for young adults, who are suddenly able to make their own choices about what they eat and how much activity they get – or don’t get. But college and university students, faculty and staff now find themselves in healthier environments thanks to the work being done by PHA partners like Central New Mexico Community College (CNM).
On November 16, 2014, CNM teamed up with PHA to meet 23 guidelines, all with an eye toward shaping good habits for our future leaders and parents. Over three years, CNM will make changes such as ensuring healthier food and beverage options reach campus, implementing wellness programming and creating opportunities for physical activity and movement. With 30,000 students and approximately 2,400 members of the faculty and staff, CNM’s changes will have a major impact on healthier living now and for generations to come.

Nearly 1 in 5 high school students would skip applying to a college based on a campus’ health and wellness offerings.
