Preventative Health

Our series of preventative health tablings focus on a variety of preventative health screenings and harm reduction measures.

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, a cancer that commonly impacts men aged 15 to 45. To promote education and awareness around self-examinations, Wellness Promotion and Health Services partnered with Sigma Alpha Epsilon in an annual “Grab Some Nuts” event. Students could make their own DIY trail mix and receive pamphlets about the importance of self-examinations.

Expanding on this, Wellness Promotion has partnered with Commonspirit Cancer Center to include breast cancer and cervical cancer. Students have the opportunity to engage and learn about breast self-examinations, annual wellness exams, and Pap smears.
