Free massages, dental exams and eye exams are just a few services to be offered at the Health Fair Wednesday. For the first time in years, Rice is sponsoring a health fair open to faculty, students and staff. Free immunizations, health food samples, glucose tests and blood pressure checks also are planned for the fair, which will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in Grand Hall in the Student Center. I think it'll be an atmosphere people will enjoy. Education and interaction-that's what we're hoping.
People can come and go as they please.
This spring, Lanier decided it was time to bring a health fair to Rice, so she selected the date and booked the hall. At the beginning of the summer Lanier and Lisa Jones, assistant director of the Student Center, put the planning gears in motion. Lindley Doran, Rice Counseling Center director, and Mona Hicks, assistant director of the Student Center, also helped organize the fair. Those attending also will receive health-wise information from the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Employee Assistance Program and Alcoholics Anonymous, among others. Flyers about the event will be posted around campus and sent to university departments.
