Eating Disorder Awareness Campaign
The Center for Women’s Ministries sponsored an Exhibit focusing on National Eating Disorder Awareness, February 23-25. This 3-day exhibit “Expressions from the Inside Out: a Journal Towards Renewal,” was open to both males and females, campus wide. Statistics reveal a growing number of women & men struggle with body image and health related issues. Hundreds of students walked through the exhibit that revealed healthy vs. unhealthy views that men and women have of themselves. I believe many were helped by this exhibit.
On Thursday, February 25, the Center for Women’s Ministries participated in a campus wide Women’s Health and Wellness Seminar. Over 500 young women attended this event focusing on Health Issues. Many young ladies were given answers from the panelist in regard to health issues and struggles with outward/inward beauty. It is evident, there are widespread issues in regard to health, but so many of these problems can be solved as we look to God's view of ourselves focused on our uniqueness, being created in His Image vs. the world's view of ourselves focused on merely the outside.
