Emporia State University

Commitment

Started on May 18, 2016
3 year commitment | View progress

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 Emporia State University.

On May 18, 2016, Emporia State University 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, Emporia State University will make changes such as providing healthier food and beverage options in dining venues, creating opportunities for physical activity and offering wellness programming on campus. With more than 6,300 students and approximately 865 members of the faculty and staff, Emporia State University’s changes will have a major impact on healthier living now and for generations to come.
