"Healthy Campus Initiative"

On Monday, Jennifer Goree came to speak about the client project that our team will be working on for the remainder of the semester. I am not only excited about starting this project, but also in attaining her goal of creating a “Healthy Campus” using six dimensions of a lifestyle: physical, emotional, environmental, social, intellectual, and spiritual.
Our group has started discussing and collaborating on various ways to develop this “Healthy Campus Initiative.” One idea we have is to develop a FaceBook page that provides students with easy tips and/or links to web sites that focus on those six dimensions. Another idea we have is to write or film a short script that shows various campus activities promoting the six dimensions.
I’m interested in both of these ideas, but am a little nervous about their development. I’ve never created a FaceBook page or edited film on a computer – so I don’t know what work or skills are required! However, we might be able to collaborate with other classmates and teach each other.
As far as other questions, I don’t have any more at the moment. Our team’s next step is to start researching those six dimensions and find various ways to incorporate them within our lifestyle. While searching, it’ll be important to keep the purpose and audience in mind: promoting a healthy campus in a way that is attractive to the Clemson family.

  1. dont be nervous about facebook or films! after you learn the basics its pretty easy.
    making a facebook page is like making this blog. you just kinda fill out the different entries. i would advise on having a good description of what you want the FB group to be about. and the good thing is that if you make a mistake or something you can go back and edit it.

    as far as making a film goes... you should totally do a google search on "how to make a short film" or something like that. you would be surprised how many different tutorials are available. you can even find some on youtube so you can see what they are talking about and not just reading it.

    hope that helps. :)
