Healthy Campus Summit

The Healthy Campus Summit provides students, faculty, staff and community members a captivating day-long program to highlight the achievements and progress of the Healthy Campus Initiative. Our hope is that all attendees will leave with personally useful wellness related information, as well as be more informed about University resources, programs and projects underway to help make Binghamton University a healthier academic environment and workplace. 

Sessions at the Summit are typically connected to a current or recent HCI project. By opening dialogues on culture change and fostering campus-wide collaborations in educational programming, research and healthy living, we are one step closer to meeting our goal of becoming the healthiest campus.

Past keynote speakers include:

  • Gregory Eells, director of counseling and psychological services at Cornell University
  • Dan Lerner, author of U Thrive: How to Succeed in College (and Life)
  • Michael Finkelstein, MD, executive director of the Slow Medicine Foundation and the author of Slow Medicine: Hope and Healing for Chronic Illness
  • Megan Amaya, assistant professor of clinical nursing, director of health promotion and wellness, The Ohio State University
