Health Education and Promotion

Health Education & Promotion

Enhancing and maintaining wellness is vital for the successful pursuit of your goals at UC Davis and for the rest of your life. Health Education and Promotion (HEP) is a primary resource to help you achieve wellness through student-centered education and creating health-promoting environments. Professional staff and student interns focus on issues related to nutrition, physical activity, sexual health, wellness, stress management, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

California Safer Universities Project

UC Davis participated in the California Safer Universities Project, which has tested the use of environmental management strategies to reduce student intoxication and related harm. The effort has sparked changes in student and community culture and in the relationship between the City of Davis, the campus and the community. The following report summarizes the intervention efforts and highlights changes in student alcohol use (pdf).
