1528 Student Health Promotion
Student Health Promotion (SHP) envisions a healthy Georgia State University in which all members of the campus community are healthy, safe, and drug free.
SHP values cultural diversity and inclusiveness, and supports social justice efforts in all public health programming.
The mission of SHP is to provide and support health promotion services, events, programs, and community partnerships that increase health literacy, communication, choices and/or advocacy. SHP supports its mission by providing services, events and programs in five key areas of public health:
