Various outside vendors, as well as several student clubs and departments within Sinclair Community College will be attending the Multicultural Health and Services fair.
“The main focus is to provide information for students for health issues, nutrition and exercise, [which] are the main three things,” Dominique Starr, graduate assistant in the Student Leadership Development Office said.
There are 34 different vendors, student clubs, organizations and departments getting involved.
“We have different clubs and organizations getting involved,” Zaria Gray, Student Leadership Development Office student assistant said. “It’s just to give you an idea on how to stay healthy, how to find out different services that are needed for the community for college students, staff, faculty. Anyone that needs different types of assistance.”
During the fair, A Culturally Educated Sisterhood club will have bins available for students to donate various goods to the Artemis Center.
However, students are able to donate to the bins located in the library until March 15.
“It’s important because a lot of students here are mainly adults with children and they might be struggling, trying to go to school and they might be trying to find daycare services, different services for themselves,” Gray said. “A lot of students here don’t have jobs so they may be trying to find Medicaid, or find ways to get food services or find ways to get involved with the community.”
During the fair, Wii fitness evaluations, zumba and capoeira demonstrations will take place.
“It’s also important, I think, because of the nutrition and exercise,” Starr said. “Maybe a lot of people don’t know that much about nutrition or exercise, or some people just don’t have time to exercise. They may get different opinions on different things they can do to keep healthy.”
The fair will take place on March 13 in the Basement of Building 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is sponsored by the Student Government Association, the Student Leadership Development Office and Student Judicial Affairs.
