Body Image Network aims to provide educational opportunities to our campus and surrounding community that emphasize prevention and awareness toward body image issues and concerns. The overall goal for the group is to promote size diversity and acceptance among all individuals. Programs are available to any campus or community group. We have a ribbon campaign that promotes size diversity and acceptance through the plaid ribbon and is affirming message attached, dare to be different, accept yourself. The group is also involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week held in the spring.
Interested members can apply spring semester.
Each applicant goes through an interview process and then fourteen individuals are then selected. The time commitment is for a minimum of one year. Group members go through an intensive training that provides an opportunity for the group to bond, learn the programs, and familiarize themselves with resource materials. The group meetings are held every other Wednesday evening. Health Advocate Program Sororities, fraternities, and varsity athletic teams choose a representative from their organization to be trained as a Health Advocate.
