The student group Reflections is sponsoring Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Feb. 26 to March 2.
"The week is really about promoting healthy body image among students, especially women," said Melissa Ruwitch, coordinator of health promotion and wellness.
The week's events will include a healthy-cooking seminar at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Gargoyle; a panel discussion about body image and eating disorders at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Friedman Lounge; a mind/body seminar focusing on balance at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Friedman Lounge; and a "Day Without Dieting" March 2, which will feature confidential eating disorder screenings throughout the day.
"I'm really looking forward to the week," said Anna Fishbein, student chair of Eating Disorders Awareness Week. "I hope it raises awareness and really helps people to not be so weight conscious, but to be health conscious."
Reflections works to educate the campus community on the emotional and societal aspects of eating disorders, body image and self-esteem.
