Support Team Belmont: 2012 Nashville Heart Walk
Belmont University is once again participating in the American Heart Association Heart Walk. This year the Team Belmont captain is Vice President and Chief of Staff Susan West.
Freshman Fitness Week
FitRec, along with University Ministries, Counseling Services, Health Services, SAPB, IFC, Panhellenic, and Sodexo will host several programs and events throughout the week. Some of the events include: Fall at the Wall, Cardio Dance Night, and an Open Mic Night featuring all freshmen performers. Convocations will be offered everyday throughout the week on the various types of wellness.
We wanted to provide an easy visual to let you know which areas of wellness those specific programs were going to focus on. Icons have been created to help identify each area of wellness. Each of the five areas is important to one's total wellness and should be equally cared for. Throughout Freshman Fitness the department will demonstrate various ways for students engage in all five areas of wellness.
