Disease and sickness prevention

My service-learning project involves educating UWSP students about diseases and sicknesses that are common in the dorms. We will be creating posters to hang up in dorms about various sicknesses and diseases and ways they can be prevented. We will also be creating informational pages to be placed in bathroom stalls where people will actually read them. After all this is completed we will be holding an educational seminar in a dorm about the sicknesses and diseases covered.

What I hope to get out of this project is the feeling of teaching other people and I want to learn myself.

This is such a great idea. People can never be too informed on the bacteria and diseases that make us sick. College students are extremely busy and often times don't take their health and well-being into consideration. And for the students that are not well educated on different diseases and illnesses this will be a great learning opportunity- even if they get to read it in the bathroom.

This is a very good idea for a service learning project because it will help provide knowledge to college students about common diseases that are spreading throughout the dorms. This is always a good topic to discuss so people can learn ways to protect themselves from getting these spreadable diseases and learn ways to help the body fight off the common illness.
