Keep Calm and Breathe On

Finals week is challenging for everyone, and this week students affiliated with the Center for the Study of Human Health provided an opportunity for their peers to decompress through yoga, meditation, and art therapy. The promotional video (follow the link above) was created by Taylor Werkema as part of his final project for a class on Empowerment, Life Balance, and Stress Relief offered through the Center. More than 30 students turned up for the event, and many others joined in as word spread across the library!

Posted on May 3, 2013 | Leave a comment

The final course requirement for Predictive Health Minors is called “Health 410: Predictive Health Challenge.”  This year’s inaugural senior class took on as their final challenge the creation of an app to improve health.  The class has been working in small groups of 2-4 students to produce an app targeting a specific health challenge that they have identified.  On Friday, May 3rd at 8:30 am in White Hall Room 207, students will describe the health challenge that they are targeting and then publicly demonstrate how their app works.  We encourage Emory students and community members to attend these presentations.
