“Staying Healthy in Nursing School”
Kennesaw State University
Sherry Grable, MEd, MCHES
Staying Healthy in Nursing School (SHINS)
is a program designed to help nursing students
learn to manage stress in a positive manner, as
well as build a network of support among their
peers and the nursing faculty. The program
will focus on fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness
as a way of managing stress. This project came
Sherry Grable Alison Mutton to fruition when Alison Mutton, a nursing
student at Kennesaw State University, reached out to Sherry Grable, director of
Health Promotion and Wellness, to see what partnership could be established to
improve the health and well-being of nursing students who were not taking care
of themselves due to the demands of their coursework, clinical rotations, and other
responsibilities. The SHINS program will feature a different health challenge
for each month of the year, and nursing students will track their weekly goals for
exercise, free time, nutrition, and social connectedness, as well as their likelihood
of completing them; identify any potential barriers and list solutions to overcome
them; track their food choices, physical activity, sleep, and goals for the day; and
recap their overall day on a care log. Top finishers will be awarded prizes that
encourage positive health habits, and a leaderboard will be used to celebrate those
achieving their fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness goals.

ACHF Healthy Campus 2020 Award
“Building a Culture of Health at St. Norbert College”
St. Norbert College
Chrystal Woller, RN, BSN
Taking a systematic approach of collective impact, St.
Norbert College has a developed a steering committee to
achieve a “culture of health” and improve health on campus
utilizing the MAP-IT process. The senior director of
Health and Wellness and senior director of Counseling and
Psychological Services lead the committee, and committee
membership consists of a diverse group of individuals
from many departments on campus, including dining
services, judicial affairs, athletics, and career/professional
development. One of the committee’s objectives is to assess
and broaden the membership base to also include student representatives and human
resources. Taking a new, systematic, and comprehensive approach to health instead
of focusing all efforts on individual-level health determinants and interventions
is essential in developing an improved culture of health on campus. Instilling a
culture of health on campus will not only prepare students to adopt and retain
healthy lifestyles and assure their success in achieving optimal health outcomes after
graduation but will also have indirect benefits to staff and visitors alike. The steering
committee looks forward to tracking progress and communicating lessons learned
along the way.
ACHF Healthy Campus 2020 Award
“Community of Champions – Creating a Healthier Campus”
The University of Toronto
Judy Voderbrugge, RN, MA
“Our Community of Champions” invites students to
nominate people, initiatives, and places on campus for
“having a significant impact on creating a healthier campus.”
This initiative was launched in January 2017 as a result
of the inaugural Design4Change (D4C) event, which
identified many faculty members and teaching practices
as supportive of overall student well-being. Finding ways
to highlight those practices was a key recommendation
coming out of the D4C event, and was given priority as it
also aligns with a number of recommendations in the university’s Mental Health
Framework. Currently, nominations for “Our Community of Champions” are
published through the Healthy Campus website, but once a sufficient number of
nominations are collected, the goal is to create a faculty-specific resource, as many
of the nominations highlight faculty approaches to teaching. The hope is that this
resource will not only create an inventory of student-nominated teaching practices
but will also inspire others to examine their current pedagogical approaches using a
wellness lens.

College Health Award
“Changing Patients, Changing Practices:
Connecting with Transgender Students through Telemedicine”
The University of Texas at Austin
David Vander Straten, MD, FAAFP
Although University Health Services (UHS)
at The University of Texas at Austin has
established a deliberate and ongoing process
to ensure a safe and welcoming environment
for all students, it recognizes that some
students—specifically students who identify
as transgender—may not feel comfortable
receiving medical services in a traditional
outpatient clinical setting. Because of this
discomfort, they may resort to alternative
David Vander Straten and Joey Hannah methods of health care delivery (self-treating
with no medical supervision, ordering prescription medications online, avoiding on-
or off-campus medical care, etc.). To address these concerns, UHS will partner with
the Gender and Sexuality Center (GSC) and potentially with the campus pharmacy
to provide gender affirming medical therapy via telemedicine to students in a safe,
familiar, private, and confidential setting that students who identify as LGBTQ+
already know and trust. The goals of this transformative process are to (1) offer
thorough gender affirming health care services; (2) via telemedicine, provide a safe,
confidential, and private option for students who otherwise wouldn’t have sought out
medical and behavioral health care; (3) build ongoing, trusting relationships between
transgender students and UHS clinicians.

Clinical Services Category
“Active Health”
Simon Fraser University
“Active Health” is designed to provide students with mental illness who cannot
(or do not wish to) take medication an alternative form of treatment that supports
an empowering and sustainable healthy lifestyle. The program also helps students
recognize the importance of physical activity and understand its link to mental
wellness. “Active Health” leverages the expertise and collaboration of SFU Health
and Counselling Services and SFU Recreation to provide an activity program that
is highly attentive and individualized to the needs of the patients. Students who
participate in this program have been clinically diagnosed with moderate to severe
depression and/or anxiety and are prescribed exercise by a registered physician
through SFU Health and Counselling Services. Referrals are forwarded to the
fitness coordinator at SFU Recreation, who then pairs the patient with a certified
personal trainer. Throughout the semester, the patients have multiple check-ins
with a mental health nurse or counselor and complete the PHQ-9 and GAD-7
to evaluate their progress. This innovative, collaborative program has given SFU
Health and Counselling Services an alternative to prescribing medicine and has
increased the conversation on campus about physical activity and mental health.
