Wellness In Action Festival

Columbia College proudly welcomes you to our 2nd Annual Wellness in Action Festival — a dynamic, community-centered initiative focused on advancing healthier lifestyles and strengthening collective well-being across our region.

Through the Columbia College Health & Wellness Ambassadors program, students take the lead in promoting healthy habits, mental wellness, and informed lifestyle choices. By equipping students with practical knowledge and real-world tools, we are empowering the next generation to champion lifelong wellness for themselves and their communities.

Throughout April: Student Health Ambassador Experience

Columbia College’s health ambassadors will collaborate with students from nearby elementary, middle, and high schools to develop health ambassadors for their own schools in the community. These students will learn valuable wellness strategies and share them with their peers. During their visit to Columbia College, they will:

• Learn how to prevent diabetes through exercise sessions with our athletic coaches and students.
• Participate in healthy food demonstrations led by our chefs.
• Take a campus tour and explore career opportunities in health-related fields.
