Fall 2007 Health & Wellness Events

 

HEALTH & WELLNESS FAIR - October 10, 2007

Every year Guilford College holds a campus wide Health & Wellness Fair where representatives from area businesses and groups related to health and wellness are invited to our campus.

The Fair will be held in the Founders Hall Lobby on Wednesday, October 10 between 11:30 am and 3:00 pm. This will provide an opportunity for these businesses and student groups to share their expertise, advertise their products, and let the Guilford students know of the many various opportunities and project goals they have. The fair will cover a variety of health related issues including mental health, sexual health, nutrition, alternative medicine, stress management, exercise, women’s health, and others. We encourage and welcome the Guilford Community to attend.
