The WVU Alumni Association hosted a webinar entitled WVU Check-In on April 21, featuring an insightful conversation with Ware Distinguished Professor Eloise Elliott and Dr. Pat Fehl Endowed Professor Sam Zizzi. Meridith Balas, director of engagement, WVU Alumni Association, hosted the event.
Elliott and Zizzi updated viewers about their important work with the Center for ActiveWV. They discussed their ongoing efforts to successfully impact the physical activity levels of adults and children through collaboration, research, policy and practice.
CPASS-driven health and wellness enhancement initiatives are currently in place in 40 counties within West Virginia. “Being part of an effort that makes a solid difference is an investment in the people of the state,” Elliott said.
“The big picture is that we are trying to enable policy, system and environments so that the decision to be physically active is the easiest choice,” Zizzi said.
