2014 Health Fair to be Held at Shelton State Community College
Tuscaloosa—Shelton State Community College will host its annual health fair on Tuesday, March 18
from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on 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 organized the fair since 1990. Many sponsors will be returning this year to
set up over 90 booths on medicine, fitness, disease prevention, health, nutrition, and beauty. Various
community service agencies will participate and 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 and stay in shape, relieve stress, and meet and enjoy new friends.
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.
