How Healthy Campus 2010 Is Being Used • Data Surveillance Work Group: • Creating a health behavior survey tailored to UF students based on Healthy Campus 2010 book • Policy work group: • Access to Quality Health Services (Health insurance) • Policy “audit” for: Alcohol, Nutrition, Tobacco issues • Programming Work Group: • Intends to wait for baseline data to determine priorities

  7. Summer/Fall Tasks • Data Surveillance Work Group: • Pilot test a student health behavior survey in summer • Collect baseline data in the fall • Work with Human Resources to get health data on faculty/staff • Programming & Communication/PR work groups: • Create a website for “one-stop shopping” for all campus health services for faculty, staff and students. • Select a slogan contest winner. • Plan, promote, implement and evaluate a fall kickoff.

  8. Summer/Fall Tasks • Policy Work Group: • Continue to review health-related policies • The next focus areas will be exercise/fitness • Steering Committee/Executive Committee • Hopefully, set priorities based on findings from health behavior survey baseline data • Work on funding strategies

  9. Lessons Learned • Do your best to involve influential people (President, VPs, Deans, Directors and Department Chairs) • Have one or two discussion meetings just to see if there is enough buy-in • Identify which decisions each committee/work group has the authority to make

  10. Lessons Learned • If you have multiple work groups, decide if all need to start simultaneously, or if some should wait • Create a plan to get and keep students involved
