An initiative run by the American College Health Association, Healthy Campus 2020 — which promotes health on college campuses — recently unveiled a new wellness initiative at Oakwood University in Alabama, a historically black college affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Oakwood students will now be evaluated on a number of traditional biomedical indices, such as blood pressure and hemoglobin, as well as their "spiritual health," "mental/emotional health" and the amount of rest they are getting. The results of these evaluations will be available to them on a transcript they can track throughout their college career.
Students preparing for careers in health and medicine will be subject to more rigorous wellness training. The idea is that it will allow them to be better health educators in their future careers.
