North Carolina Wesleyan University is one of only 156 universities and colleges around the world to be honored by Exercise is Medicine® for its efforts to create a culture of wellness on campus. Activities such as Walk with the President, Exercise is Medicine® On Campus (EIM-OC) mascot challenge, Lunch n’ Learn Series for Health and other campus wellness initiatives aided NCWU in earning silver level designation from the EIM-OC program.  

Annually, NCWU proclaims October as Exercise is Medicine on Campus month. This year, on Thursday, October 3, 2024 President Dr. Evan D. Duff initiated the celebration by signing a proclamation that affirms our commitment. He was joined by Exercise Science, Public Health and club officers. Immediately following the signing, students, faculty and staff participated in a Walk with the President around campus.
