What is SNAC?
SNAC (Student Nutrition & Wellness Advocates at COC)
is a student club committed to promoting health and wellness on
campus and in the community (with a particular focus on promoting
healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, and body
image).
SNAC also provides training and supervised worked
experience to students interested in nutrition, health, and fitness
careers.
Through education, outreach, and environmental action, SNAC aims to…
-
Help students eat well, be active, and feel good.
-
Empower students to cope with stress in healthy
ways.
-
Encourage students to set healthy boundaries with
food, exercise, rest, school, work, and play to maintain
balance.
-
Promote health and fitness at every shape and
size, rather than being thin or muscular at any cost.
-
Create an environment that supports and
encourages positive attitudes and healthy lifestyle behaviors.
SNAC members work together to promote healthy
attitudes and lifestyle behaviors by planning and implementing the following:
