On February 1 and February 2, the Golden Eagles Center (GEC), which is the athletic center at AIU, hosted an open house.
The event provided students with the opportunity to experience the amenities and resources that the GEC has to offer. The students learned about access to courts and equipment to stay active and bond with their fellow students at AIU. The event had an amazing turn out and allowed the students to learn about health and well-being while having fun.
The Clinic staff educated students on the importance of keeping your body and mind healthy by showing them charts and talking about healthy habits.
The students also engaged in a tug-of-war against staff members to raise some healthy competitive spirit. There were many sports to play including basketball, volleyball, soccer, archery, and badminton. GEC provided the students with healthy snacks and refreshments to encourage good eating habits. The 'eat Fresh' stand was a major hit for the students, and they loved the 360-platform rotator!
Ms. Dejana, one of our health trainers, brilliantly stated "A healthy mind and a healthy body go hand in hand. If one is not taken care of properly, then neither will function."
