The College of Public Health’s first Field Day, Fun Day! — set for Thursday, May 1 — will not only be fun, it will advance the college’s mission to improve public health.<\/p>\n

Analisa McMillan is co-chair of the college’s Wellness Council, which conceived and is sponsoring the event. The council is partnering with the Center for Healthy Living in conjunction with the Everybody, Everyday<\/i> fitness initiative. The event is open to all UNMC faculty, staff and students <\/p>\n

The event will also feature giveaways, including two box seats to the May 12 Omaha Storm Chasers game and two free month-long memberships to the Center for Healthy Living.<\/p>\n

“The College of Public Health Wellness Council believes that we can best foster healthy populations and environments by providing opportunities for wellness education and activities,” she said. “This event is a perfect example of a fun and healthy opportunity that aligns with the college’s mission to create an environment to promote optimal health and well-being.” <\/p>\n

Held on the Ruth and Bill Scott Student Plaza lawn (or the Center for Healthy Living’s gym in case of rain), Field Day, Fun Day! will feature a series of entertaining activities.<\/p>\n

Physical activity is essential to the College of Public Health’s mission to promote optimal health and wellbeing, said Mary Morris, McMillan’s co-chair. <\/p>\n

“The Field Day, Fun Day provides a fun opportunity to promote physical activity by participation in events like croquet, Frisbee toss, ladder ball, three-legged races and more. There’s sure to be an activity (or two!) of interest for participants at any level of fitness.” <\/p>\n

Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams, and refreshments will be provided. Festivities will run 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. For information, email<\/a>, call 9-5254 or stop by the Center for Healthy Living front desk.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
