Commitment

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 University of New Hampshire (UNH).

On November 16, 2014, UNH 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, UNH 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 14,700 students and approximately 4,050 members of the faculty and staff on campus each year, UNH’s changes will have an impact on healthier living now and for generations to come.
