The Concord University Healthier Campus Initiative is a three year plan to implement 21 activities to help make the healthy choice the easy choice. We are fortunate to collaborate with the Partnership for a Healthier America through this initiative. Below, you will find a schedule of healthy lifestyle event and activities on campus, a list of the 21 activities being implemented at Concord, healthy lifestyle resources on campus, and information on the Concord University Wellness Committee.
