Health Promotion

So what is health promotion? According to the World Health Organization, health promotion is about enabling individuals to take control of their health and its determinants. What is health promotion here at Elon University? Well, it’s about providing resources and information to students, faculty, and staff. We encourage low risk health behaviors such as drinking alcohol only in moderation and seeing a health care provider for preventative check-ups.

Examples of Elon’s health promotion efforts include:

  • Providing flu shots to students, faculty, and staff
  • Administrating AlcoholEdu for College, the required first year online alcohol education course
  • 24/7 sexual assault response
  • Grants for substance free events
  • Hosting Take Back the Night
  • Training SPARKS Peer Educators to provide wellness programs and presentations
