Do you want to be a Healthy Dawg? Doesn’t everyone? Learn how!
If you are a member of the “Bulldawg Nation” and striving towards health, you can be a Healthy Dawg. That means students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans!
Healthy behaviors enhance the general condition of the body or mind in order to increase the ability to live life fully with vitality and meaning.
We often think of health in terms of being physically fit or free from illness. However, health is defined as being multidimensional. The six health dimensions represented by the Healthy Dawg mascot’s juggling balls are: emotional, intellectual, physical, environmental, social and spiritual.
All over campus!
Healthy Dawg tips, discounts, coupons, contests and special deals will be sent out on Facebook and Twitter. Like us and Follow us.
