Healthier Campus Initiative

The Concord University Healthier Campus Initiative is a three year plan to implement 21 activities to help make the healthy choice the easy choice. We are fortunate to collaborate with the Partnership for a Healthier America through this initiative. Below, you will find a schedule of healthy lifestyle event and activities on campus, a list of the 21 activities being implemented at Concord, healthy lifestyle resources on campus, and information on the Concord University Wellness Committee.

Here are some resources that can make it easier to make healthy choices on campus:

  • Recreation and Wellness: Here is information on the campus fitness facilities and the intramural sports program.
  • Counseling Center: All students have access to the campus counseling center. Visit our Counseling Center webpage to learn more about the services offered and to request a specific appointment time.
  • Lactation Room: Located in Room 209 of the Jean and Jerry Beasley Student Center (2nd floor), the Lactation Room is a comfortable, private room for breastfeeding mothers. Contact the Student Center Main Desk for admittance. The 2nd floor hallway is equipped with security cameras for safety purposes.
  • Bluefield Area Transit: Concord University is pleased to offer bus service to and from the Athens campus to Princeton, WV through an agreement with Bluefield Area Transit. Please consult the latest schedule for arrival and departure times here. Weekday bus service is available and is free of charge to students with a valid Concord University I.D.
  • Campus dining: Check out the menus for the day and some great nutrition resources at Campus Dish.
