The Healthy Campus Award celebrates U.S. campuses each year that champion student voices, create equal opportunity for health, are data-informed and data-driven, and strategically invest in student health for the long term through public health initiatives. Cornell University was announced as one of five universities to receive the award in 2015.
“This award reflects the collective efforts of students, staff and faculty to create a more caring and healthy campus,” said Tim Marchell, director of the Skorton Center for Health Initiatives at Gannett Health Services. “It does not mean our campus has achieved all that needs to be done, but it does reflect a deep and demonstrable commitment to the ongoing and multifaceted work of making Cornell more supportive of student health and well-being.”
