Central State University will host a number of free activities on Thursday, April 23, to promote community wellness and healthy living.
Community Wellness Day will be held at the CSU main campus in Wilberforce, beginning with line dancing at 11 a.m. in the Norman E. Ward Sr. University Center Ballroom.
Participants are asked to arrive at 11 a.m. for the community one-mile walk/run that will be held at noon at McPherson Memorial Stadium. A Spin Class will occur at 2 p.m. in Walker Gymnasium.
The activities, which are free and open to the public, are part of the university’s celebration of the 125th anniversary of the second Morrill Act, which established Central State University and other universities as Land-Grant Schools.
Last year, Central State received its federal designation as an 1890 Land-Grant Institution. Land-Grant community programming and scientific research will be focused on promoting health, preventing disease and eliminating disparities in rural and urban communities.
Kettering Health Network and Greene Memorial Hospital are partnering with the University to provide health information and screenings at the Wellness event.
