Case Study

Case Study
Promoting a Healthy Life-Style on the UT Campus

The Case:
Many colleges and universities are increasingly using targeted, coordinated wellness programs in their efforts to assist the campus community in making healthier life-style choices. Implementing an effective wellness program at a college or university can strengthen the healthy campus standards and initiatives as well as encourage students to develop and maintain balanced life styles well beyond their college years.

As part of its commitment to healthy student development, the University of Toledo’s Auxiliary Services, in collaboration with the Student Affairs Division, are searching for effective ways to inform and educate students on healthy living styles.

The Team Task:
The Director of Auxiliary Services invites your team to identify and recommend effective ways to strengthen and promote a healthy life-style on the UT campus. Your task is:

Identify and describe the current student healthy-lifestyle-related information and education initiatives on the UT campus
Research and present successful information and education initiatives undertaken by institutions similar to UT; this search should focus on successful initiatives not employed by UT
Identify and present relevant theories of student development or on students that guide successful wellness-related campus initiatives;
Recommend approaches UT can undertake to address the problem successfully. Your recommendations should be guided by theoretical research and in-depth study of existing effective initiatives.

Your recommendations need to be carefully studied through:

meetings with professional staff involved in addressing this issue;
on-line research of best practices on similar campuses;
books, articles, publications (most major journals are available on-line)

Your case analysis and recommendations will be presented before the Director of Auxiliary Services his team on April 15th, 2009.
