The APU EIM team has successfully created campus-wide opportunities with our campus walking maps, promoted physical activity through our #WeLoveExercise Instagram campaign, and did a study about the physical benefits of walking to class rather than taking the campus trolley. By completing these milestones, we have been recognized as a Bronze campus by the American College of Sports Medicine.
Exercise is Medicine on Campus encourages faculty, staff, and students to work together toward improving the health and well-being of the campus community by:
Making movement a part of the daily campus culture
Assessing physical activity at every student health visit
Providing students with the tools to strengthen healthy physical activity habits that can last a lifetime
Connecting university health care providers with university health fitness specialists to provide a referral system for exercise prescription
