National Wellness
Institute,
Rowan University Student Chapter
We are proud to be one of the original NWI student
chapters in the
country. Our mission as a student chapter is to:
- Create an awareness of the importance for
developing
and maintaining a high level of wellness among members of the Rowan
community and
- Develop future health promotion leaders.
Chapter membership provides students with the
opportunity to gain valuable experience and begin building a
professional network while in school. Active members are better
prepared and in higher demand for internships and job opportunities
upon graduation. In the past, chapter projects have included hosting a
regional Health Promotion Student Conference, implementation of a
campus-wide blood pressure screening and presentations and internships
at several regional and national conferences.
The National Wellness Institute is an international
organization for health promotion professionals. It is one of the
leading non-profit organizations dedicated to enhancing the personal
and organizational health and well-being of individuals and communities
in worksite, community, educational and health care settings.
Each year, we help fund NWI chapter members to
attend
national conferences. We also award 4 Outstanding Service Awards ($200
toward the certification of your choice) each spring to our most active
members.
