Take a walk around the Penn State York campus and you'll see these signs, showing the number of steps from that point to the campus library. Twelve signs have been printed and appear in different locations throughout the semester, encouraging everyone to try getting in 10,000 steps a day.
This program is in support of "Enhancing Health" – one of the five thematic priorities of Penn State University's strategic plan.
We define a flash forum as “a conversation facilitated by a Penn State York faculty or staff member concerning pressing, current events before they fade from the news.”
We asked our campus counselor to facilitate a session which she titled Exploring the Mystery of Suicide, held a few weeks after the death of Robin Williams.
After hosting the session on suicide, our campus counselor suggested a session on depression, which she facilitated on Depression Screening Day, held annually during Mental Illness Awareness Week in October.
Our campus instructional designer facilitated a session on mindfulness.
