Community Wellness Day

Saturday, April 28
Romano Gym. 11am-3pm.

The 3rd Annual Community Wellness Day is a community collaboration aimed at promoting four key aspects of Community Wellness: Health, Safety, Financial literacy, and Environmental Awareness. There will be approximately 60 vendors representing these topics. Also, Joel Salatin has been invited to be the keynote speaker. Mr. Salatin is an "alternative" farmer from Swopes, Virginia. He has been featured in the documentary "Fresh: the Movie", Michael Pollan's New York Times bestselling novel "The Omnivore's Dilemma", and the Academy Award nominated/best selling independent documentary of all time "Food, Inc.". Joel Salatin's Bio; and a brief video of his work at Polyface Farms (from USA Today). Free and open to all.

One-Credit. Online.

Do you need one more credit? Do you want a course that's 100% online? Do you want to take a course that will apply to your life, even after college?

SOC 1400: Alcohol & College Life is a one-credit, online course that teaches the facts about alcohol, drugs, and other college issues such as academics and social life. This course is not the typical drug education course students are used to in high school. We don't tell you what to do; we just tell you the facts and let you decide.

SOC 1400 uses a combination of videos, animated interactions, voice-overs and text to deliver content to its students, allowing them to choose how they learn best. You don't have to purchase a textbook. The course also isn't geared only for students who drink or party a lot. SOC 1400 is for all types of students, even those who choose not to drink. Here's what students had to say about the course:

• "The videos and readings truly did help. Perspectives from students at our school painted a more realistic picture of the issues at hand."
• "Covers the vitals that all college students should know."

For this upcoming fall semester, enroll in SOC 1400: Alcohol & College Life, a course with knowledge that you will use even after you graduate!
