What: Retro Activity is an on-campus event that promotes good health by encouraging students to put down their phones, take out their earbuds and connect with others and their own well-being. Local hospitals and healthcare providers will join campus clubs with activities such as a giant “Operation” game, a drumming circle, pet therapy and more. 

When: Friday, April 26, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where: St. Joseph’s Hall Gymnasium, College of St. Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Morristown

Who: CSE students and faculty, along with college programs such as physician assistants, nursing, public health and foods and nutrition, along with the New Jersey Hospital Association and its members serving the local community – Atlantic Health System, Hackensack Meridian Health Carrier Clinic, Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center, The Valley Hospital and Trinitas Regional Medical Center.

Why: “Good health begins in the community or, in this case, on campus,” said NJHA President and CEO Cathy Bennett. “If our goal is to create healthier communities, we need to reach individuals early and promote healthy behaviors. And in today’s culture, when it’s all too easy to plug in and tune out, a key part of wellness is to promote fun activities that urge students to get moving and connect with others.”
