In Sickness and In Health is the student-led group of the University Health Center. Students from all years and majors work together to increase awareness of college health issues. College is all-nighters, pizza, 21st birthdays and more than a little stress, but it is also about finding your own unique way to maintain balance and stay healthy. In Sickness and In Health helps students learn to balance their lives with the help of their University Health Center.

In Sickness and In Health students design and implement a year-long, campus-wide marketing campaign that promotes understanding of the breadth of Health Center resources. Every month, we meet with experts and learn about health issues. Then, we create a comprehensive plan to bring that information to campus. Members have different talents. Everyone uses their unique skills to design a polished, effective, and fun campaign.
