West Virginia Wesleyan College health science students gave two talks on campus health and evaluating health information at the October 23 SHAPE WV conference at the Bridge Sports Complex in Bridgeport.
Lynzee Hague ’28, of Yantis, Texas, joined Dr. Jessica Riffee, a member of Wesleyan’s health science faculty, for “A Campus Health Assessment Proposal: Physical Activity and Stress,” about a proposed student health assessment, according to a Wesleyan news release.
Ellie Eskew ’28, of Charleston, West Virginia, and Alyson Vandall ’27, of Alderson, West Virginia, led “Health Literacy: Fact or Fiction?” The interactive session asked participants to weigh health information and pick out reliable sources.
The team also staffed an exhibit table with information about Wesleyan and its academic programs.
“Having the recent opportunity to present at the SHAPE WV conference was a valuable step in my professional experience [in] health care. As my first experience presenting, I was able to gain an understanding of the importance of clear communication, perspective, engagement and professionalism. It was a great opportunity to gain experience and represent WVWC,” Vandall said in the release.
