The Exercise is Medicine On Campus (EIM-OC) chapter at St. Thomas Aquinas College educates and promotes physical activity and healthy habits on campus.
Our goal is to create an inclusive campus environment that supports the overall well-being of students, faculty, and staff. This is based on St. Thomas Aquinas College’s eight dimensions of wellness: physical, social, spiritual, emotional, environmental, vocational, intellectual, and financial.
EIM-OC partners with Student Health and Wellness, CAPS, Athletics, and the Department of Exercise Science to achieve the following goals:
- Recognize physical activity as an important indicator of overall health.
- Reduce barriers to physical activity.
- Connect physical activity to healthy choices that promote holistic wellness.
- Support individualized goals of improving overall health.
St. Thomas Aquinas College has achieved silver level recognition by EIM-OC in recognition of our commitment to educate students, faculty and staff about the benefits of increased physical activity and to create a culture of wellness on campus.
