The following are some comments made by
Personal Health students who visited the Center
and wrote evaluations...
1) "...was a lot smaller than I pictured 1t
would be,"
2) "I especially enjoyed the literature on
Nutrition since I am looking for a book
to do a book report on."
3) "I had not known how to actually check
for cancer and so thanks to the Health
Education Room I now do!"
4) "I think this Is a good venture by the
Health Center, one 1n which I hope will
escape the budget axe of the administra
tion. I would encourage anyone who has
from 5-30 minutes to spare during the
day to explore the Wellness Room."
