The Student Health Promotion Committee is a group of students working to make CU Anschutz a healthier place to be. We plan events, start new projects, and speak up for what students actually need. Every school and every program is welcome.
What We Do
We meet every week to figure out what students need and then go build it. Some of it is small and practical. Some of it turns into a campus-wide program. Recent projects include:
- Healthy Vending. Getting better food options into the machines students actually use.
- Free Fitness Classes. Workouts on campus that do not cost anything and fit around class.
- Mental Health Lunch And Learns. Short sessions where students can talk about stress and burnout without it being a big production.
You do not need a background in public health or a finished idea to join. Most projects start as somebody in the room saying that something on campus should work better.
Two Ways To Join
EASIEST WAY
Just Come To A Meeting
No sign-up, no commitment, and no need to tell anyone you are coming. Show up, see what we are working on, and decide from there. You can come to one meeting and never come back, and that is completely fine.

Another Way To Connect
The BRIDGE Network. Want to build friendships outside the committee too? BRIDGE puts you in a small group of students from across CU Anschutz schools and programs. Your group meets one hour a week for three weeks, led by peer facilitators and trained staff, and finishes with a meal together. See this term's cohort dates.
