Campus Initiatives

We participate in a variety of campus initiatives that assess health attitudes and behaviors, create opportunities for healthy choices, and support a culture that values health.

Health Surveys

Every few years, University Health Services implements the ACHA-National College Health Assessment, a nationally recognized research survey that helps us collect data on Carnegie Mellon students' health behaviors and perceptions. This survey provides important data that informs our programs and initiatives, ensuring that our services are relevant for students' needs.

Collaborations

Healthy Campus Committee, AlcoholEdu, Pathways to Health, and

Mini Grant Program

Our mini-grant program focuses on health and wellness; its purpose is to enable Carnegie Mellon students and student organizations to create their own health promotion programs.   Students are encouraged to find appropriate, relevant and creative ways to contribute to the health of the Carnegie Mellon University community.

Preference will be given to initiatives that focus on any of the following topics: stress and emotional health, sexual health, alcohol and other drug abuse, nutrition and physical activity, and preventative health care.
