The College of Health and Human Services is hosting the annual Health and Safety Fair today from 1-4 p.m. at the University Student Union southwest terrace.
About a dozen booths, each representing a different major from the College of Health and Human Services, will be set up on the terrace overlooking Sbarro.
“All of the majors from CHHS will be there,” said Kristen Okada, publicist for the CHHS student council. “The goal is to promote the different majors in the College of Human Health Services department, as well as inform the community on current health and safety issues. It gives freshmen who are undecided about their major a better idea of what their options may be.”
Booths set up will include those hosted by the Student Dietetic Association, Recreation Society and Criminal Justice Association. Each booth will focus on one issue or current event, according to Okada.
Marchell Baily, president of the Health and Human Services Student Council, said the event has been going on for more than five years.
All students are welcome to come to the event and enjoy free food, music and prizes, organizers say.
Fresh fruit, granola bars, spring water and muffins will be given out for students who visit each booth and have a stamp card filled out.
Anybody willing to test their physical ability with 30-second planks, 30-second hula hooping, and other physical challenges can rack up raffle tickets with a chance for one of two prize bags.
Wynndi Dahlin, a representative to CHHS from the Recreation Society, said the donated prizes, worth about $100, include a mix of accessories such as a watch, compass, smash-ball set, gift cards to Golden Spoon, towels and an energy ball that can bounce 125 feet in the air.
Students can strike a pose for a free caricature from 1-2 p.m.
Lilly Vu, treasurer of CHHS Student Council, said this year’s event was funded with $500 from ASI.
“One hundred and thirty students showed up to last year’s event,” she said. “A lot more are expected this year.”
