2013 Wellness and Health Fair to be Held at Shelton State Community College

Tuscaloosa—Shelton State Community College will host its annual Wellness and Health Fair on

Tuesday, March 19 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Martin Campus Atrium, 9500 Old

Greensboro Road. Admission to the fair is free and open to the public. All faculty, staff, students

and friends in the community are invited to attend this showcase of healthy living.

The Wellness Center has been holding the fair since 1990 and is pleased that many

sponsors will be returning this year to set up booths on medicine, fitness, disease prevention,

health, nutrition, and beauty, along with various community service agencies. Fitness and martial

arts demonstrations are also scheduled.

The Wellness Center, one of the College’s most popular areas, is open year round and

offers students of all ages the opportunity to get rid of stress, meet and enjoy new friends, not to

mention to get and stay in shape.

The center also offers a variety of health and physical education classes through

noncredit and credit programs including a certificate program for students who want to become

exercise instructors and personal trainers. As part of the curriculum, students learn the basics of

nutrition for disease prevention and exercise physiology. As Americans place more and more

emphasis on health and exercise, the job opportunities will continue to grow.

For more information on the Health Fair or the Wellness Center, contact Dr. Milady

Murphy at 205.391.2994.
