Health Enhancement cultivates student learning and influences health-related outcomes by promoting healthy attitudes and behaviors, and by preventing illness, injury, and disease, thereby shaping a healthier campus community.
Health Enhancement strives to create a healthy campus environment whereby students experience optimal well-being while achieving their academic, career, and personal goals.
Health Enhancement is the health promotion department within the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at Northern Illinois University. Health Enhancement provides student-centered, relevant health promotion information, materials, and interventions to assist students as they pursue their academic goals. Located in Chick Evans Field House, Health Enhancement can provide a large selection of health-related materials, help with personal health issues, and health information for class projects or student organizations.
Health information is provided via presentations and trainings for academic classes and student organizations, outreach events, mobile and stationary resource sites, individual and professional consultations, electronic and print media.
In partnership with other NIU departments and offices, Health Enhancement sponsors and participates in a number of health events and programs. See our News & Events and Programs & Services pages for more information.
Health Enhancement also provides student-staffed outreach locations including: Holmes Student Center (Center Cafe, near the bus turn around or across from the Campus Activity Board ticket window), Residence Halls and other locations.
