Health and the Human Condition

Watch this video to see why UTA College of Nursing and Health Innovation faculty members and students have developed an after school program with the Grand Prairie Independent School District. In addition to gaining sports-specific skills, kids in the program are fighting off a sedentary lifestyle by developing healthy habits through physical activity and learning about good nutritional choices. The program is a unique demonstration of UTA's strategic commitment to advancing health management within physical, mental, emotional, and social contexts.

Student ADDYs

Last Friday, the American Advertising Federation Fort Worth presented the annual ADDY awards to honor outstanding advertising work from around the area. UTA students Elena Chudoba and Andrew Czap won Student Best of Show for their work on the "Patriot Paddles" packaging campaign. Other UTA students including Arvel Perry with Gabriel Guerrero, and Austin Ryan and Chad Ryals won gold ADDYs. Fourteen UTA students also received silver and bronze awards at the event. For more information, you can read about the awards on the UTA Alumni Relations Facebook page.
