A College-wide event since 1990, the Shelton State Wellness Center is excited to host this event for the thirty-first time.  This year will mark the first in-person fair since 2020.  “We are excited to be back in person for this year’s fair,” said Ashley McLeod, SSCC Business and Health and Wellness Chair.  “For more than 30 years, the College has opened its doors to the community for this event to inspire healthier living.”

The fair will feature dance, aerobics, and martial arts classes; healthy cooking demonstrations; and information on disease prevention, health, beauty, sports, and more.

The Wellness Center on Shelton State’s Martin Campus is open year-round and offers opportunities for students of all ages.  Health and physical education classes through credit and non-credit programs include a certificate program for students interested in becoming exercise instructors and personal trainers.  As part of the curriculum, students learn the basics of nutrition for disease prevention and exercise physiology.
