Programs

1. Wellness JeopardyA. Facilitated by Diana & Cathy on Oct. 24th with an attendance of 8

people. 1. The group was small and energetic who seemed to enjoy

themselves.2. The program was conducted as half its length due to poor

attendance.

B. Facilitated by Diana & Chris on Nov. 1st with an attendance of 20 people.1. The participating group was very active and responsive while

answering many questions correctly. The RAs also enjoyed participating in a minor role along with their students.

2. The RAs had to retrieve attendees from the hallways which bothered some students and final jeopardy seemed too difficult for most of the students to answer.

C. Notes1. A good portion of Cathy’s first couple of weeks at HEP were

spent editing and practicing for Wellness Jeopardy. Diana and Cathy went through all of the questions and chose the ones that needed to be changed. Cathy, Kathleen Yumul (Sleep, Stress and Mental Health Student Assistant), and Chris made a few edits to some of the questions while changing the question altogether for others. The introduction is a little different. Diana sent in a marketing request to get those new cards printed out and ready for next quarter. Lastly a new final jeopardy question was created. Diana and Chris tried it out once, but it seemed to be too difficult still. Diana worked on a new one and we will test it out next quarter when we get a program request.

Projects- Nutrition

1. Harvest GardenA. Activities

1. Prepared the fall garden for planting of the fall crops by pulling up the old plants from the summer garden and amending the soil. Diana created a planting plan based on where previous plants had been planted, which produce HEP wanted in the garden, and where they should be located based on sun exposure. Made a trip to Ace Hardware to pick up organic soil amendment and the seedlings starts. Requested volunteer help for all gardening events.

2. Planted the garden with chives, cabbage, cauliflower, radishes, beets, Swiss chard, beets, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, scallions, oregano, and tarragon. Some plants stayed in the garden from previous plantings because they were still doing very well. These include: peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, lemon verbena, thyme, and sage. The produce has not been harvested yet, the plants are growing much slower than in the previous year. But some are looking pretty mature, so we should be harvesting soon. And when that does happen the fresh produce will be placed at the front desk with a sign and bags letting people know that it is free, fresh, organic produce for them to take.

3. Diana showed the volunteers where to find the garden log and task list, and the shed key. The volunteers also toured the garden and were shown the tool shed and everything that was available to them for working.

4. Signs for all the produce in the Harvest Garden were created and requested by the marketing department. Most of the plants in the garden are plants we haven’t planted before so a lot of research was done to find the nutritional information and facts

about the produce. The Harvest Garden website was updated and all the new produce in the “What’s Growing” section was listed. Diana wrote up an entire “How-To” guide for the Harvest Garden. This includes prepping the garden, panting the garden, maintaining the garden, making signs for the garden, and maintaining the garden.

B. Data/Numbers1. Plants in ground planted: 812. Different types of plants: 12

C. Meetings1. Diana attended a volunteer meeting to introduce the volunteers

to the Harvest Garden and the types of tasks they will be doing while working in the garden.

D. Future Plans/Goals1. The garden will be left on it’s own over winter break, but will

picked right back up in January. Harvesting the garden will be a top priority and then the garden will be maintained as best as possible until spring planting takes place. Once the signs for the Harvest Garden are printed out and returned to HEP, they will be put in the garden. As soon as the produce is mature and ready to pick Diana will put up the “Please Pick” signs. Also, Diana will be talking to Merril Lavezzo (Social Medial Coordinator) about putting some information about the Harvest Garden in either the listserve or the Facebook page or both. Lastly, Diana and Lindsay can get the ball rolling on getting a sign for the whole Wellness Garden. On that note, if that ends up taking place, Diana will be conducting a focus group to get student input of what types of things they would like to see in the sign.

2. UC Davis Farmer’s MarketA. Description of project activities and progress

1. Holly updated the UC Davis Farmers Market vouchers to better match the style of the whole market, vouchers were re-ordered, and Diana requested grant money from the EPPC for HEP’s voucher program – HEP was given $300 for the year. Normally is given money quarterly, but EPPC changed it this year. Also, HEP is receiving a little less money than normal, but they’re funds have been cut down drastically.

2. At volunteer training Diana facilitated the Farmers Market tabling activity to help orient them to what it is like tabling at the Farmers Market. Also, before the first market took place Diana went into a Thursday meeting to let them know about the market, where to find the supplies, and everything they needed to know before going out and tabling.

3. Requested from Tamara to reprint the voucher stickers with a new expiration date. The vouchers are now good until the end of spring quarter. This is a change from previous years when the vouchers expired after the end of the quarter.

4. Had difficulties with the table reservation situation at the Farmers Market for the first few weeks. HEP was reserving the table through the MU Information desk – which is a new process as of this year. They hadn’t worked out all the kinks yet and had doubled book the table with us and another club. Diana talked to Dani Lee, (Manager of UCD Farmer’s Market) about solutions to this problems and ways to avoid it again if possible. Because HEP is an official sponsor of the UCDFM, they are actually given a table within the Farmers Market. Diana worked out the kinks with the information desk and all was resolved.

5. There were difficulties getting enough volunteer help at the Farmers Market. They all seem to have class right at the time we need them to table at the market.

6. The voucher program played out differently this year than it has in past years. Last spring quarter HEP handed out 480 vouchers and had 56% redemption rate. However, this fall quarter HEP only handed out 156 vouchers and had a redemption rate of 11.5%. This is a dramatic difference and HEP needs to go a little deeper in determining what was different and how it can be improved. After the markets ended HEP received the vouchers back and Diana recorded their tracker numbers and calculated statistics for the vouchers. This includes determining how many vouchers (and which numbers) were handed out at each event ranging from the market, to Wellness Jeopardy, to Ryann’s cooking classes. Then Diana tallied the number of vouchers redeemed from each event and calculated the redemption rate for each one individually. Then Diana calculated a total redemption rate. These stats are

important because the can be used in helping request grant money from the EPPC for vouchers in following years.

7. The Rapid Market Assessment also ended up not happening this quarter. This was due to the fact that the markets ended November 14th – nearly 4 weeks before the quarter ended. Diana didn’t realize it was coming so fast and didn’t have time to prepare the volunteers for conducting the assessment. Volunteers were guided through “how-to” guides and detailed instructions, but no assessments were filled out.

8. Created a whole “How-To” guide for the UC Davis Farmers market from facilitating the farmers market activity for the volunteers, to reserving the table at the silo, to printing and explaining the voucher program.

B. Data/Numbers1. Vouchers handed out: 1562. Vouchers turned in: 30

C. Future Plans/Goals1. Next quarter the Farmers Market will not be taking place. Diana

will focus more on brainstorming some better ways to distribute vouchers that will increase redemption rates. Diana will also be in contact with Dani in regard to which table placement she thinks is better for HEP to be at.

2. Diana would also like to reorient the volunteers to tabling. They may have had a hard time grasping the concept of what it means to table and the different tasks they should be performing at the market. Diana plans to clear things up and improve the tabling all around and therefore increase voucher distribution and redemption.

3. Future Projects/NotesA. Diana

1. Sometime next quarter a meeting should be set up between Diana, Linda Adams, and Dani Lee to discuss furthering the Happy, Healthy Apple logo into the Coffee House. Also, Diana would like to hear about any updates on the vending machine progress.

2. Next quarter Diana will begin work on the Fruit Tree Map. Diana plans on adding this to the already existing Fruit and Vegetable Map.

3. This task will require a lot of research and environmental scanning by the volunteers, so Diana will be working closely with them next year.

Projects- Physical Activity

1. Wellness CarnivalA. Planning Process

1. Timelinesi. The first step of the quarter was to create an outline for the

Wellness Carnival and make sure it was spaced out in a timely way and adjusted for at 2 extra weeks in case anything went. Cathy and Chris set aside a few office hours directly focused on this timeline and finished it within week 2 of the quarter. They referred to the timeline of the physical activity student assistant PASA) from last year, but had to adjust for the change in calendar dates. Timelines can be seen under C. File name and path of important documents.

B. Important steps1. Meeting with Campus Recreations & Unions

i. Cathy & Chris have been working with Danielle and Brian, who are both new to their positions, and have not taken part in organizing any of the previous WC’s. They have been very helpful and seem as equally excited as the PASAs are about this event. There were a total of 5 formal meetings with them this quarter, and the meeting details are kept in the server under “Meetings.” The meetings included discussion about location, time, and appropriate marketing slogans. Everyone also went over each department’s role, where HEP was to gather promotional items, participants, and plan out the majority of the event. Campus Recreation & Unions decided to organize the raffle, set up the location, meet with Band-Uh!/Gunrock, and assist with marketing. The communication between HEP and Campus Recreations & Unions went very smoothly and any questions were emailed before each meeting to be added to each meeting agenda.

2. Focus Group and Promotional Item

i. Cathy and Chris organized a focus group with the Mental Wellness Student Assistant Kathleen. The main purpose of the focus group was to find out what themes, times, and promotional items would best suite the carnival this year. Multiple drafts of a script for the focus group were created and tested out with the HEP volunteers at their Oct. 18th meeting. They suggested that the PASAs do either the “Wellness Style” theme based off of the Gangnam Style or “Game of Wellness” based off of the Game of Thrones and

have simple promotional item useful for winter or related to the theme. Potential themes included the following:1. Game of Realms2. A Realm a Day Keeps the Doctor Away3. Don’t Worry, Be Healthy4. Dance Dance REALMolution5. Got Wellness?6. Wellness StyleUltimately the PASAs decided that a focus group wasn’t necessary to finalize the details of the carnival because we had enough information from the volunteer meeting. The “Wellness Style” theme was decided upon with the promotional item to be sunglasses after consulting with Polly and Holly about budget and familiarity to the theme.

ii. After researching different possibilities, the PASAs decided on sunglasses with white frames and blue sides because they go well with our theme. The sunglasses were chosen as an exclusive promo item, and only the first hundred participants who complete a passport will get one. The rest will receive our awesome flying discs.

3. Gathering Participantsi. It was surprisingly difficult to get organizations to

participate in the WC. For the first month and a half or so after sending out the application, Cathy and Chris were barely getting any responses. After sending out several emails through HEP’s gmail account, Cathy realized that the emails might have been going into people’s spam folders. Cathy then decided to resend them through her personal UCD gmail account and extended the deadline several times. Every week, Cathy gathered a new list of emails (about 20-30 emails) from different organizations and sent them the participant application.

ii. At two weeks before finals week, the PASAs only had about 10 participants. Cathy personally asked her friends who are in clubs to talk to their Presidents and sent out the application to as many organizations in Davis as she could. Links were added to the Aggie article about the 2012 WC as well as a link to Aggie TV’s coverage of the 2011 WC in order to raise interest and give orgs a better idea of what the WC is. Now it is finals week, and there are over 20 organizations signed up! The only one that PASAs are still struggling with is the environmental realm, so

Chris and Cathy will continue to email organizations throughout Winter break.

iii. The PASAs emailed applications to over 50 school organizations and departments with the assistance of the Campus Student Involvement website. The PASAs wanted to focus on campus only student orgs and departments to emphasize the resources students have here. After the initial email the deadline was extended at least 3 times for a total of 3 weeks. The breakdown of organizations and applications is listed below.

o 1st & 2nd Deadline (11/14/12 & 12/4/12) Colleges Against Cancer Physical Therapy and Massage services New Dawn Treatment Centers-not a campus org

and encouraged to apply with ABiDE Mind Spa Student Nutrition Association Cross Cultural Center The Pantry Sodexo EXB Club Camp Kesem

everyone involved. They will also market the event through social media with Merril and Campus Recreation & Unions.

2. PA CampaignA. Description of project activities and progress

1. Cathy and Chris brainstormed a few ideas with Polly and Lindsay. Cathy and Chris plan to create an outline for the campaign immediately after the Wellness Carnival to cover the week of the campaign and all preparation before. They did come up with a few ideas that include making the “Work It” week more interactive through social media. This would

include messaging or posting on the SHCS Facebook page about locations where students would do a small activity or take a picture and get a free prize from HEP volunteers. Polly, Chris, and Cathy had some great ideas for promoting physical activity, and came up with a strategy where events are held that lead up to the campaign kick-off week at the quad. Using our SHCS Facebook page to make announcements, we could have various scavenger-hunt-like activities that allow students to explore campus and win prizes while helping our media pages gain attention. The new Wellness supervisor, Lindsay, will be overseeing this project next quarter, and they are very excited to get this campaign started up again!

A. Description of project activities and progress1. Chris and Cathy contacted Brian Rose via email on 11/19/12 to

introduce themselves as this year’s PASA’s as well as to inform him of some of the changes they would like to make to the PA Map. Cathy realized that none of the places on the map had addresses, so she will be working on gathering those as well as making sure that all of the information currently on the map is up to date. Chris and Cathy want to add trails to the “Walking/Jogging” points or biking/running routes, as well as new activities, such as bowling, rock climbing, leagues, and etc. However, it does not seem as though there are any places to bowl besides at the campus MU bowling alleys. Chris reviewed all broken links, mainly city parks, and spoke with Lindsay about making the map interactive or emphasizing it as a social online tool for students. More work for this will be done next quarter.

4. Future Projects/NotesA. Chris

1. In my first quarter as a Physical Activity Student Assistant (PASA), I spent most of my time split between doing two main activities that include the 2013 Wellness Carnival and Physical Activity (PA) Campaign. I found it very helpful working with my co-physical activity student assistant Cathy because we both had great communication to update each other and keep a good pace of finishing our objectives in a timely manner. Working with Polly was also very helpful because she provided great insight and kept reminding us of previous ideas/events that were taken into consideration when planning the Wellness Carnival and PA Campaign.

2. Keeping a strong communication line with the volunteer coordinator, social media student assistant, and the other Wellness student assistants helped streamline all processes necessary to stay on track with our quarter goals. Changing supervisors from Polly to Lindsay was a seamless transition and assisted Cathy and I greatly near the very busy stages of the quarter.

B. Cathy1. This was my first quarter working here, so I was continually

learning about HEP and the SHWC throughout the quarter, from policies and procedures to all of the different resources and wonderful staff members. I am very glad to have Chris Servera as my fellow Physical Activity Student Assistant (PASA), and I think that we work very well together and have many of the same goals as PASA’s. Although the PASA’s before us split up the planning/organizing of the Wellness Carnival and the PA Campaign, Chris and I decided to both take full

leadership of both events. This quarter, our main focus was the 2013 Wellness Carnival.

Programs1. Wellness Jeopardy

a On February 19, 2013 Cathy and Chris facilitated a Wellness Jeopardy program for the Thompson dorm building in the Segundo residence area. This program involves transporting the jeopardy board and other jeopardy materials to the location, setting up, overviewing the seven realms of wellness, facilitating the jeopardy game, handing out prizes and pamphlets, answering any questions, cleaning up, and filling out evaluations. At this program there were 19 participants.

b Things that went well at this program include the pace, the amount of participation from the audience, the enthusiasm of the participants, and the amount of people in attendance. Another notable positive note was that the Resident Advisors helped with the setup.

c Some things that could be improved upon include being more objective with answers and calculating the earned points while playing the game instead of at the end.

d Some other notes from the program include the fact that the Resident Advisors dominated most of the participation, the final jeopardy question being too subjective, and that only 14 evaluations were collected from the 19 participants.

1. Wellness Jeopardya On February 25, 2013 Kathleen and Chris facilitated a Wellness Jeopardy

program for a class in Wellman, room 115. This program involves transporting the jeopardy board and other jeopardy materials to the location, setting up, overviewing the seven realms of wellness, facilitating the jeopardy game, handing out prizes and pamphlets, answering any questions, cleaning up, and filling out evaluations. At this program there were 19 participants.

b Things that went well at this program include the enthusiasm of the participants, the timing and pace of the program, the enjoyment the participants seemed to have while playing the game, and the feeling and setting of facilitating a program in a classroom.

c Something that could be improved upon is emphasizing to the participants to ask more questions during the game.

d Some other notes from the program include the suggestions from the participants wanting more clear questions that final jeopardy went well even though neither team answered the question correctly. A final suggestion from the facilitators is that HEP should try to facilitate more jeopardy programs to clubs, organizations, or classes on campus.

Events1. Wellness Carnival 2013: Wellness Style

a Wednesday, January 16th, 2013; 5:30-7:30PM; ARC Lobbyb This was the 6th annual Wellness Carnival co-sponsored by HEP and

Campus Recreation & Unions. The purpose of this event was to increase students’ awareness of the Wellness Portal and the 7 realms of wellness. Several campus organizations participated by each representing one of the realms. They came up with interactive activities to educate students about how to increase their wellness in that particular realm. Sheets of paper called “passports” were given out to students and they received

stamps after participating in the interactive activities from the respective realms. After earning a stamp in each of the seven realms, they filled out the evaluation on the back and received prizes and a raffle entry. The first 100 participants to turn in their passport received our limited-edition sunglasses.

c Participants attended: Estimated at 400Passports handed out: Approximately 279Passports turned in: 79Number of participating organizations: 20

● The first thing we did was create a timeline to organize the various tasks we had to do and the estimated week we would have to complete them by. Other important steps included:1. We updated the organization contact list since presidents/leaders change almost every year. 2. We met with Campus Recreation & Unions (CRU) as soon as possible to confirm the date, time, location, and other

important details for the event. We continued to communicate with them throughout the planning process.3. Once the necessary information (date, time, location, theme) was decided, we sent out the applications to organizations. Our application form can be found here: https://docs.google.com/a/ucdavis.edu/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEl6Qmp2SzBDQ2lORHpGV3pQSGRiVHc6MQ#gid=04. We sorted all of the incoming applications into their potential realms. The Google form spreadsheet organized the responses, but we had to decide which realm to put the organizations in based on how they ranked the realms that fit their organization. For each realm, we had around 3-5 groups, not including the Love Lab, the HEP table, or the Campus Rec & Unions table.5. Once we finalized which groups were in the event and which realm they would represent, we sent out their acceptance emails as well as the rejection emails.6. We assigned each group to a table/space according to the layout provided by CRU, and we kept in mind their special needs (extra space, outlet, etc). We created different layouts: one for volunteers and one for participants, then we out the layout to participants and asked for a reply for confirmation.7. We sent in the volunteer request form early so that the Volunteer Coordinator could prepare for the event. We typed up a list of duties for the volunteers, including detailed descriptions of what they have to do before, during, and after the event. We sent them a layout with the locations of where they will be needed, and how the event will be set up so that they can familiarize themselves with the layout and be ready to guide participants.8. We made sure all of the necessary materials are ready, including promotional items, pamphlets, banners, signs, prizes, passports, stamps, pencils, tape, etc. We got the stamps, markers, and tablecloths from Tamara. The banner, passports, and promotional items/prizes were from Holly. The pencils and tape were already in the office. We printed out the 8x11 signs ourselves using the printer in the office. 9. We reminded everyone who will be representing HEP at the event to wear their HEP t-shirts!

Projects- Harvest Garden & Nutrition (Diana Grandi)

1. Harvest Gardena Project activities and progress

i Cleaned up the garden after having been away for multiple weeks. Some of the plants were falling over, some were dead or dying. I took out the old tomatoes, some old flowers, harvested the radishes and the peppers, and did a major cleanup throughout the garden. This included taking leaves out of the garden beds, raking the paths, and pulling weeds.

ii After harvesting the radishes and peppers I gave the produce to the student staff because there was not enough to hand out at the front office.

iii Considered planting for a second time because we were left with some empty spots. However, Ace Hardware didn’t have any seedlings and they are the business we go through because they do purchase orders (PO) which are easy ways for HEP to purchase the seedlings and soil. Redwood Barn Nursery did have some good organic seedlings, however, trying to get a hold of them to determine if they did POs proved to be difficult. It got too late in the season to plant any more seedlings and we decided to wait until spring planting to plant more.

iv I created a Harvest Garden Planting Journal for this year very similar to the planting journal I created last year. This is a document of information about everything that happened in the garden this season. It is an excel spreadsheet that includes the planting date, the type of plant, the spacing that plant needs between each seedling, the production results, the issues we ran into with the plant, the end dates of the produce, and the location the produce was planted in the garden bed. The document can be found on the server at: HEP:Health Ed:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Harvest Garden:Fall2012HarvestGardenData.xlsx

v Lindsay and I worked together to create a new way for the volunteers to record the time they spend in the garden. I had noticed that volunteers were not working in the garden on days that I was requesting for them to go down. The old Garden Log and Task List was too long and elaborate for the volunteers to follow and it seemed that they were passing over most of the tasks that needed to be done. So we created a small, easy to follow checklist for the volunteers to use when they are in the garden. The only things they are required to do are clearing the garden beds of leaves, raking the leaves off the path, weeding, and watering if the soil is dry.

vi The Physical Activity Campaign is in the process of being planned. There will be a Gardening Day event as a part of “Work-it-Week”. This will take place on the morning of May 3, 2013. We have

scheduled this event to line up with the time many spring plantings would take place, so the student who participate will be able to plant some of the summer produce seedlings. I have email the Segundo Residence Garden and the Salad Bowl Garden about participating because they were involved last year and it would be great to have them participate again.

b Future plans/goalsi The future plans for the garden include continued maintenance

and upkeep through the effort of both myself and the volunteers.ii Spring planting will take place on May 3, 2013 and will be an

event for “Work-it-Week”.

2. UCDFMa Not many projects or activities took place this quarter regarding the

UCDFM. The market does not take place during winter quarter, so in the past ten weeks many meetings, brainstorming sessions, and new ideas took place and were implemented. Progress has been made in multiple categories of the market.

i The HEP table has relocated within the market. Instead of reserving a Silo table like we did last Fall quarter, we are now going to be located at a table specially reserved for sponsors of the market. This will be within the actual market instead of right outside of it. The table will be next to the Sodexo table where they will be handing out food samples. Also, we will be able to store the wheel and other materials at the Silo. This will be very beneficial because the volunteers will not have to carry the wheel across campus every Wednesday.

ii New Media Outlets. We will be using different media techniques to help get word out about the market and the HEP table at the market. We want to highlight our table, the wheel game, the prizes to be won (vouchers, nap kits, flying disks) and the frequent buyer card with the raffle. We will be doing more Facebook marketing and newsletter marketing. We will also be utilizing Sodexos efforts for marketing the UCDFM. They put out a newsletter every week about the farmers market with descriptions about the market, the vendors that will be there, etc. We have been in contact with Jordan, an intern from Sodexo who puts the newsletter together every week about adding information about our vouchers and the frequent buyer cards.

iii Our goal is to hand out 1,000 vouchers next quarter. This means we will have to do much more than just our volunteers handing them out at the market. However, the highest redemption rates are from the ones that are given away at the market. We decided that the best way to hand out more vouchers and increase

redemption rate is to have multiple places throughout the market handing out the vouchers. We will talk with the vendors and other campus groups that work the market if they would be interested in handing out vouchers. We are also going to try handing out two vouchers to each student to try to increase their incentive to use it to buy something.

iv We also want to increase the distribution of the Frequent Buyer Cards. In order to do this we are going to ask the vendors at the market to hand out the cards as well as initial them after a student buys something from them. This will eliminate us as having to be an “in between step” that customers have to go to to get their card stamped.

v We have discussed getting new costumes for the market. We focused grouped the student assistants and health educators and decided on a sugar snap pea and a strawberry. It doesn’t look as if the costumes will be ready for the spring market kick-off, but hopefully we will have them sometime next quarter.

vi In fall, one Rapid Market Assessment was attempted at the last market of the quarter, but not enough surveys were filled out to bring in any significant data. For next spring quarter, there are already three different dates set up for the RMA to be conducted. These will be the last three markets of the quarter. We want to have three dates just in case one of the weeks something goes wrong -- we want to make sure there are enough filled-out surveys to gather important and useful data.

vii Another new element of tabling at the market that will be implemented next quarter is the evaluation that is required to be filled out after every market. The evaluation includes the date of the market, the names of the volunteers, the number of vouchers handed out, the total number of visitors to the HEP table, and space to explain if there were any problems encountered, and a space for other comments.

3. Healthy, Happy, Apple Logoa The Healthy, Happy, Apple Logo is a logo found in many campus dining

locations that indicates the healthy food options. This was implemented a few years ago by Sodexo and can be found in the Dining Commons on campus, the convenience stores on campus, the Silo, and the Halal food

truck located at the Silo. Not much has happened this quarter in regard to the logo.

b The future of the logo is ambitious yet achievable. The goal for the logo it to get it located at every food vendor on campus. This means the CoHo -- which has previously been difficult to work with and not wanting to participate in the logo. However, there is a new manager at the CoHo, and we are hoping that he will be more open to implementing the logo. The next accomplishment it to try to get this done. There are some interns at Sodexo that might be able to help us with getting the ball rolling and getting the logo into the CoHo.

c A document containing the history and other information about the Apple logo can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Healthy Happy Apple Logo:HHALogoHistoryInfo

4. Healthy Vending Machinesa Last year healthy options were added to the kitchen vending machine at

the Student Health and Wellness Center. It was not taken too well by the consumers because prices were too high and people still wanted chocolate, soda, and other snacks that weren’t available any longer. So the healthy options were taken out and we went back to the beginning. Nothing new has taken place this quarter about the vending machines.

b Some future action for the vending machine project includes meetings with Linda Adams next quarter to see where the project might be headed and what we can do to help it progress. There are a group of honors students on campus that are trying to start a project with healthy vending machines, so there is some potential partnering that could happen in the future.

c A few years ago HEP conducted a healthy vending machine survey. I gathered this information and put it into a folder incase the group of students contacts us. We can give them the information we have and offer help if they would like it. This folder of information can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Vending Machine Info

5. Fruit and Veggie Mapa Nothing new was added to the Fruit and Veggie Map this quarter. I did

general upkeep things like making sure the business hours, the phone numbers, and websites were still correct. I made sure the images are all still working. I also rewrote some of the introduction about the map on Davis Wiki.

6. Letter to the Editor of The Aggiea There was an article in the California Aggie on January 9, titled “Healthy

for the Holidays”. It discussed how to lose holiday weight. We noticed they used a lot of negative terms and had a few tips that HEP didn’t

necessarily agree with. I wrote a letter to the editor about the article. I didn’t want to point out the parts of the essay that we didn’t agree with, so instead I focused on the positive good things the article said, and plugged for the Physical Activity Campaign.

b The letter to the editor can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Nutrition Writings:Letter to the Editor healthy for the holidays[final]

7. Fruit Tree Environmental Scana This quarter I began planning for the Fruit Tree Environmental Scan. This

is a difficult scan to conduct because it involves the volunteers going out onto campus and into downtown Davis and finding and identifying fruit trees. I know the volunteers aren’t arborists, so I did a lot of research about fruit tree identification and came up with an identification guide for the volunteers to take with them when looking for trees. I’ve also broken the UC Davis campus and downtown Davis into different zones. So each group of volunteers will be given a zone to scan and document the trees they find. I’ve also created a sheet to fill out once a tree is located. All of these documents along with how-to guides and instructions for the volunteers can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Fruit Trees in Davis Environmental Scan

b The environmental scan will begin the second week of spring quarter on Monday, April 8 and will continue for the following three weeks. This project will be on going for year to come though. Every fall and spring I suggest the nutrition/wellness garden student assistant plan and conduct this environmental scan because there will always be trees that were missed or new ones to record. Also, I think it would be great if every new quarter we could expand the boundaries of the scan and hopefully eventually all of Davis could be scanned for fruit trees.

8. Brainstorm: HEP Website -- Nutrition a I am in the very beginning stages of planning for a Nutrition website for

HEP. Some ideas I have include:i Tips and tricks for eating smartii What is a serving?iii what does 200 calories look like?iv Facts about dieting and why “dieting” isn’t necessarily healthyv Food logsvi What a day of foo looks like for people with different caloric

needs based on gender, age, and lifestylesvii Myths about eating healthyviii Easy, Healthy, Recipesix Other campus or online resources

Projects- Physical Activity (Cathy Huang & Chris Servera)

1. PA Campaigna We are preparing for the 2nd annual Work It Week (WIW). We’ve

contacted the EXB Club, Public Health Club, and the Student Health and Wellness Committee because they were all involved in last year’s campaign. The EXB Club and the PHC have both shown interest in participating in WIW 2013. The SHWC replied asking about funding, but after we replied to their question, they never contacted us back. We are not going to consider them as a part of our campaign this year.

i The PHC is still planning their event and will let us know soon. So far, we know that their event will take place the evening of Wednesday, May 8th.

ii The EXB Club had a lot of great ideas for their event, such as Zumba and weight training, but nothing has been finalized.

iii Diana is in charge of organizing the gardens’ participation in WIW. We are also preparing a physical activity tracker that will be passed out throughout WIW and the week after. The main purpose of the tracker is to encourage students to engage in some form of physical activity for a week and learn more about how simple it is to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. The tracker was outlined by Cathy and was later reviewed with Holly, Lindsay, and Chris. The first draft can be found in section f.

b See section fc N/Ad No meetings have taken place so far, but we are planning to meet with

the EXB Club and the PHC during the beginning of next quarter.e We plan to obtain further details of all events from the organizations

involved. We also anticipate that the final water bottle and tracker design will be completed soon.

2. PA Website (Chris)a This quarter the website underwent a few renovations along with the

rest of the HEP website. More emphasis was placed on individual topics and making the website easier to navigate. Lindsay was the main person

to focus on the website, but Chris was tasked to look up different resources and links that would be appropriate for the HEP physical activity and wellness website pages. The main idea for the resources is to promote local and simple PA for people who are relatively sedentary and do not engage in much activity. The main focuses for the physical activity page included:

i A calendar of national and local eventsii Tips on how to get started through local venuesiii PA Workout Sites & Calculatorsiv Online Trackersv Fun Tips and Activities

b N/Ac N/Ad No Meetings were planned, but dates are still being compared to meet

with Lindsay and Adam Napolitan potentially for Spring quarter. e Future organization and a final guide of links will be determined later on

in meetings with Lindsay and Adam.f PA Links Document: ../PA Website and Map/PA links for website.xlsx

3. PA Map (Chris)a The PA Map was not focused upon this quarter, but will be later

improved upon and promoted during the PA Campaign. The PA Map didn’t work for at least 3 weeks during the quarter, which was noted by Lindsay.

b N/Ac N/Ad N/Ae Future meetings with Adam and Brian will be arranged to fix current

problems and broken links currently on the PA Map. f N/A

4. PA Phone Applications (Chris)a The main goal of creating a list of PA phone applications is to promote

easy and convenient ways that students with smartphones can engage in physical activity. The list cut down to 20 applications mainly use Android or Apple smartphones, but was also created to incorporate a few tablets as well. A final list of 20 phone applications was created to keep the list small and simple for students to navigate through. I wanted to make sure that the applications placed an emphasis in physical activity, but diverse enough for a wide range of college students to try out. There are a couple of applications that were chosen based because they only offered music that was specifically designed for working out or enjoying a specific type of physical activity. Categories and additional information will be included

once a meeting is held with Adam and Lindsay to see how the application list will be organized on the website. Downloadable PDF files were discussed as a potential method of placing the list on the website. Criteria for selecting each application included:

3.0 or above overall user rating Related to fitness or physical activity directly Was used by at least 100,000 people the previous month Regularly updated or maintained by application company

b Timeline Week 5

o Research phone application barriers and popularity amongst college students, especially physical activity applications. Kevin Tran assisted with finding articles.

Week 6o Review and analyze other school websites on physical

activity and phone application usage. o Look over varying list by technology publications about

their annual top physical activity/health phone applications

Week 7o Create criteria to add an application and look up various

phone/tablet applications that focused on physical activity while meeting criteria.

Week 8o Review each application individually and sample the ones

available on my phone. o Create a final list of applications

Week 9o Present list to student assistants and staff. o Review organization of list and possible methods of

promotion on websitec 20 phone applications were foundd Meetings

Met with Lindsay about placing the list on website. e Future meetings with Adam to further develop list and promote it are

trying to be set for sometime in Spring quarter.f Important documents

5. Barriers to PA Research (Cathy)a I used the internet to research various barriers to PA while focusing on

sites and studies that related to college students. This main reason for doing this was to gather data and information that could help us improve WIW by coming up with a campaign that was better suited for our target population. So far, my research shows that lack of time is definitely one of the biggest barriers for college students. This coincides with our slogan “work it in 10+10+10 work it out,” which tells students that they can break their 30min of PA a day into three 10-minute bouts. I’ve also found a lot of studies that showed that lack of access to work out equipment and facilities was a barrier for students, but I feel as though this does not apply to our campus. Davis is very bike-friendly, all students have free access to the ARC as well as PE classes, and there are several jogging pathways/parks around the city. However, I do believe that it would help to raise awareness about the different parks and other possible places for PA around the city, and hopefully this can be achieved through our PA map. Another large barrier that students face is feeling too tired to workout or engage in any form of PA after long days of school and work. I believe this issue is being addressed in our campaign through our promotion of non-sports-like activities. Simple decisions, such as leaving the house a bit earlier to walk to campus rather than taking the bus, could lead to health improvements, and this would be a great message for students to grasp. I think that this barrier goes along with the lack of time, and to address both of these issues together, I believe it would be helpful to give students tips on how to incorporate PA into everyday activities. For example, they would do squats while brushing their teeth, lift weights with one arm while writing notes with the other, do jumping jacks while waiting for their food in the microwave, and etc.

b Ongoingc (see filepath in section f)d N/Ae My goal is to to use the data that I find to develop a PA campaign that

effectively promotes PA among UCD students, especially those who usually engage in little to no PA.

Report.docx

Projects- Harvest Garden & Nutrition (Diana Grandi)1. Harvest Gardena.    Project activities and progress

i. Cleaning up the Garden: I emptied the garden of the old winter produce and did an overall cleanup of the garden area. This included weeding, removing old plants and roots, raking the leaves, etc.

ii. Preparing the Garden for Spring Planting: I contacted grounds about cleaning up the leaf droppings, making sure the irrigation was set correctly, etc. I also scheduled dates and times for picking up soil and seedlings from Ace Hardware as well and when to amend the soil and I picked a planting day. These dates can be found under the section titled “Timelines”.

iii. Gardening Day as a part of “Work-it Week”: This year we incorporated our spring planting day into “Work-it Week”. Gardening is a good way to get some physical activity in. We also contacted the Segundo Residence Garden and the Experimental Community Garden to see if they were interested in participating in our Gardening Day. They both wanted to participate, however, both gardens eventually stopped responding to my emails and we don’t have any data from how either of their planting days went. The EC Community Garden did respond saying they didn’t have any participants, though. Our Harvest Garden had two participants, and help from the volunteers as well.

iv. Spring Planting: Took place on May 3rd from 9am-10am. Myself, 3 volunteers, and two student participants were involved in the planting. This is the list of produce planted in the garden: Basil, zucchini squash, cucumber, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, fennel, parsley, gold medal tomato, brandywine yellow tomato, cayenne pepper, shishito pepper, bush beans, large red cherry tomato, arugula, mustard brassica, collard greens, cilantro, tomato, inion chives, pole beans, fresno pepper, ancho pepper, cantaloupe.

v. Updating Website: I made a list of new produce (listed above) and requested for the “What’s Growing” section of the website to be updated.

vi. Purchase Order Process: I determined how much we spent on previous planting seasons and requested a purchase order of $200 for soil and seedlings.

b.    Timelinesi. Sunday, April 28: Pick up soil amendment from Ace Hardware with Lindsay.

ii. Monday, April 29: Removal of old winter garden plants from garden beds. Plants that were kept in the garden include: sage, oregano, thyme, and lemon verbena.

iii. Wednesday, May 1: Amend the soil with help from the volunteers.iv. Friday, May 3: Spring planting day. Plant seedlings in the ground.

c.     Data/Numbersi. Harvest Garden: 2 participants

ii. Experimental College Community Garden: No participantsiii. Segundo Residence Garden: N/A (never responded to emails)

d.    Future plans/goalsi. Summer Maintenance: I created document that outlines how to maintain the

Harvest Garden over the summer. This will be used by the student assistant working in the office over the summer and the Wellness Health Education, Lindsay. It will be the student assistants job primarily to maintain the garden over the summer.

ii. Fall Quarter: I have created many “how-to” guides for the new student assistant taking over my position, so the transition between people will go as smooth as possible.

1. UCDFMa.    Project activities and progress

i. New Table Location: HEP now has a new table location within the Farmers Market. We are not located within the market at a Sponsors of the market table right next to the Sodexo food demo table. This move has been very beneficial to our table. We get a lot more traffic and when we had out vouchers to people they are more inclined to turn around and buy something from the market because they are already so close.

ii. Voucher Distribution Changes: This quarter we started handing out two vouchers to each person instead of one. We did this because people are more inclined to buy something from the market when they have two dollars. It is difficult to find something at the market for only 1 dollar. This change has proved to be very significant in increase voucher redemption.

iii. New Costumes: We replaced the old peach and carrot costume with new strawberry and snap pea costumes. These are a big hit at the market -- attracting a lot of people and bringing a good amount of attention to the HEP table.

iv. Rapid Market Assessment (RMA): The RMA was conducted over the course of 4 markets. This was to increase the amount of surveys taken so we could get the best data possible.

v. Weekly UCDFM Evaluation

b.     Data/NumbersI. Voucher Distribution

a. Total Distribution: 969b. Total Redemption: 750c. Redemption Rate: 77.39%

II. Rapid Market Assessment: 120 completed surveysa. 85% were students; 10% staff; 3.3% visitorsb. 79% spent $0-$5; 15% spent $6-$10; 2.5 % spent $11-$15c. 36% were there to buy fresh produce; 27% to experiene the atmosphere;

11% other; 8% to visit the HEP table; 7% to buy other food itemsd. 50% first heard about the market by just happening to walk by; 21% word of

mouth; 8% flyers/bulletin boardse. 44% have been to the market 0-3 times this quarter; 30% 4-6 times; 25% 7+

times

c.    Future plans/goalsi. Continue on with the changes made this quarter because they have proven to be

very successful changes.ii. The new student assistant will need to make a proposal to the EPPC next fall quarter

about granting more money towards vouchers. She will need to bring in information about redemption rates, how much the vouchers cost to print, how much they are worth, etc. The new student assistant will need to contact the chair of the EPPC and request to come to a meeting to make the proposal. In the past they have granted money on a quarterly basis, which meant that I had to go into a meeting both fall and spring quarters to make my proposal. However, this year they granted a certain amount of money to HEP that was intended to be used for the entire academic year.

1. Fruit Tree Environmental Scana.    Project activities and progress:

i. I created everything needed to conduct the Environmental scan last quarter, so everything was ready to go at the beginning of this quarter. The environmental scan packets included the Fruit Tree Identification Guide, the large zone map, the close up map of the individual zone, and the list of trees identified and their locations.

b.    Timelinesi. Thursday, April 4: Volunteer meeting to discuss how the scanning will work and

what is expected of them. I requested groups of three people with at least one person who has a decent camera to take pictures of the trees. I also mentioned that it might be nice to have someone in each group (particularly for the farther zones) who has a car and is willing to drive.

ii. Monday, April 8: Environmental scan began. It will continue until all of the 27 zones are scanned -- even going into next fall quarter, and possibly into spring of 2014 if needed.

c.     Data/Numbers

i. So far I have only received two completed zone packets.ii. Zone 6: 2 kumquat trees, 1 loquat tree, 1 fig tree, 1 plum tree.

iii. Zone 9: 2 fig trees.d.    Future plans/goals

i. The new student assistant will have to pick up where I am leaving off. I have created a document that explains the process I took in creating the zones, how the scanning works, how to round up the volunteers to do the scanning, etc. I will leave as much information as possible to that she can successfully complete this project. It is a very big project and will take a few quarters to complete.

ii. Expanding/creating new zones to be scanned to hopefully one day all of Davis can be scanned for fruit trees. Hopefully when all of the zones I have created have been scanned, whoever is in my position will start a new round of zones that goes above 5th street. Maybe in a few years we will be able to scan all of Davis for fruit trees.

e.      Path to important documentsi. HEP: Health Ed: Wellness: 2012-13: Diana: Fruit Trees in Davis Environmental Scan

1. Fruit and Veggie Mapa.    Project activities and progress

i. I edited the main introduction of the Fruit and Veggie map on Davis Wiki and the Google Map.

b.    Future plans/goalsi. Continue checking the map to make sure the locations, hours of operation, location,

phone numbers, and websites are still correct. Also make sure the links of the pictures are showing up because there has been some problem with that in the past.

Projects- Physical Activity (Cathy Huang & Chris Servera)1. PA Campaigna.    Description of project activities and progress

The main part of the PA Campaign was “Work It Week” which is discussed under the Events section of this quarterly report. More detailed information about “Work It Week” can be found in the WIW Report, whose location is also listed in the Events section. Other than WIW, the PASAs worked in depth with Merril (Social Media Coordinator) on promoting physical activity through Facebook and her biweekly emails to the HEP listserves. The PASAs also organized three water bottle drops that the volunteers did throughout May (5/16, 5/23, & 5/30). There was a communication issue in finding the correct date between Chris and Amanda (Volunteer Coordinator) because the volunteers had signed up, but didn’t report anything after either day. For future water bottle or promotional item drops, it is suggested that the dates of the drops be scheduled in with part of “Work It Week” or near the very beginning of the quarter.

b.    Timelinesc.     Data/Numbers

2. PA Map & Websitea.    Description of project activities and progress

This quarter there was less emphasis placed on the map or website because more work was placed into organizing the PA Campaign. Chris wrote a summary of the links he found that could be added to the website along with updates to the map, such as the new park updates reviewed by the City of Davis. There was also a summary written for the smart phone applications that can be used later on for future presentations or campaigns.
