Charleston Southern’s Body Image Week (March 15-19, 2010) was a great success! The Counseling Center and Recreational Services Team planned and organized events for each day last week that focused on a positive view of one’s self.

Monday was “No Mirrors Monday” in which public mirrors around campus were covered to urge students to look inside for beauty.

Tuesday was “Take Heart Tuesday.” The Counseling Center and Recreational Services employees provided information in the Caf about heart healthiness. The caf prepared meals that were “heart healthy” and displayed the nutrition information for each dish. The Greeks performed a step demonstration, and students were encouraged to make stickers that said, “I <3 My _________!” This was the most eventful lunch in the Caf since the Kuumba Festival!

Wednesday there was a “Fitness is Fun” field day. Students in SNA, Psych Club, Kinesiology Club, and Rec Services that included field day activities, health screenings, and a Fun Run.

Thursday featured the Home Run Derby at the baseball field. The events of the week ended on “Fitness Friday.” The counseling services staff provided tours of the Brewer Center to current students to demonstrate how to use the facilities.

In addition to these great events each day, Counseling Services and Rec Services sponsored a “Be Comfortable in your own Genes” blue jean drive to donate old jeans to a local charity. They also gave a way tons of awesome prizes including CSU gear and a bike! The week was extremely successful, and students and faculty enjoyed celebrating Body Image Week!
