                  “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.

      “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.

          “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.

                       coordinates programs focused on the prevention of high-
                       risk drinking and alcohol-related harm, as well as physical
                       activity, nutrition, and positive body image promotion. Some
                       of William’s many contributions to the campus include the
                       development of the Healthy Student Organizations initiative,
which recognizes student organizations that promote physical activity, healthy
nutrition, and general wellness; the success of the UT Austin BASICS program,
which is designed to assist students in examining their own drinking behavior in
a judgment-free environment; and the launch of the ExerciseRx program, which
prescribes exercise to students to benefit their physical and mental health. William
is also a leader in the Healthy Dining Committee for the UT Wellness Network,
which has successfully implemented a healthy vending policy and farm stands on
campus. William’s colleagues say he has made a remarkable impact on the health of
UT Austin students and has contributed many innovative ideas to the field.

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.

E. Dean Lovett Award for Exemplary
    Contributions to a College Health Program

          This award honors ACHA members who have directed
            or contributed significantly to the development of a
             college health program in an exemplary manner.

                            Barbie Vander Boegh, RN, BSN
                            The College of Idaho

                             Barbie Vander Boegh currently serves as director of
                             Health and Wellness Services at The College of Idaho,
                             where she has in a short period of time contributed
                             significantly to their college health program. Under
                             Barbie’s leadership, The College of Idaho was able to
                             establish a vaccination requirement program, which
                             tracks students’ vaccines for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis
B, MMR, Meningitis, Polio, Tdap, and Varicella. Additionally, her vision for a
healthy campus positioned The College of Idaho to transition to a smoke- and
tobacco-free campus in 2017. Most recently, Barbie collaborated with the Idaho
Immunization Coalition to obtain free Meningitis B vaccines for students at The
College of Idaho. Her efforts included obtaining the help of Idaho State University
pharmaceutical students to administer the vaccinations; using the marketing
department on campus to develop a social media campaign; and educating
students, parents, and the local community about the risks of Meningitis B. The
campaign was so successful that it essentially used the entire supply of vaccines
from the Idaho Immunization Program. The pharmaceutical representatives
involved recognize it as the largest proactive clinic without a student death driving
the campaign. Barbie’s colleagues admire her dedication to ensuring the health and
wellness of her campus community and they recognize her significant impact on
The College of Idaho’s Health and Wellness Services.

       Outstanding Service to One’s Institution

         This award honors ACHA members who have made a
        significant impact on the institution of higher education in
        which they work, regardless of whether the individuals have
                    been active beyond their institutions.

                         as director of Health Services at Adelphi University,
                         where she has transformed the RN-referral based
                         system to a multidimensional ambulatory care center
                         that is aligned with Healthy Campus 2020 goals. Under
                         Jacqué’s direction, Adelphi University became a point
                         of distribution (POD) vaccination clinic for the campus
                         and for the county (if called upon), and the enabled the
Health Services Center to offer 24/7 health care services through the use of nurse
practitioners, registered nurses, and emergency medical technicians. As director,
Jacqué developed a Health and Wellness Peer Education Program—which grew
from two students to 30—and will begin wellness coaching services this fall after
being awarded a grant from the Women’s Giving Circle. Jacqué has instituted a
modern electronic medical records (EMR) system that grants students access to
their records and enables her to use data mining to demonstrate the utilization of
the Health Services Center and its needs to senior administration. Jacqué has also
partnered with Counseling Services to develop an innovative suicide prevention
program (which she is presenting this year at the ACHA 2017 Annual Meeting)
and implemented the Red Watch Band Program as part of a larger initiative on
bystander training. Jacqué is currently pursuing a PhD in nursing in The College
of Nursing and Public Health at Adelphi University. Her colleagues admire her
responsiveness to student needs and say she is a dedicated team member whose
services have positively impacted Adelphi University.
