The Healthy Campus Network (HCN) envisions a campus culture that encourages health and wellness activities.

The HCN achieves this by sharing information about new resources, workshops, and opportunities to engage in wellness programming on campus. Crew members must attend one hour-long meeting per quarter to learn about campus wellness programs and organize one team building activity per quarter around health and wellness. Furthermore, members are expected to forward announcements about the HCN programs and to encourage colleagues to participate in campus-wide wellness campaigns.
