Summary & Reflection
1. Public Health Issue: Regis College There is an issue with insufficient parking spaces at Regis College. The lack of parking provokes individuals to park illegally. Parking illegal compromises the overall safety of emergency vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles that are parked on cross-walks or double parked obstructs the path for emergency responders, which may possibly delay response time. The group presentation was informative. The group went deeper into the topic as they explained factors such as handbook statements, environmental factors, the effects parking has on the pillars of health such as sleep deprivation, and the different subpopulations affected such as freshmen, residents, commuters, and faculty. One of the points that stood out was that teachers have an expectation that students will be attentive and on-time. This expectation is sometimes not met, not due to the students, but due to insufficient parking space. A student’s academic performance should not be hindered by a controllable issue such as parking.
2. Hand Sanitizer
An interesting fact I learned from this presentation was that about the presence of hand sanitizer can increase class attendance to about 20%. The group struggled to answer certain questions asked the by professor, however, overall they had great foundation points …show more content…
I enjoyed the discussion among students within the class about resident and commuter food availability and experience. A point established and agreed upon by most is that it is difficult to balance nutritious meals with the tight schedule students are limited by. The conversation was a little lengthy, however, it was the most I have observed the class talk the whole semester. A quote I recall is “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” a classmate commented that the salad bar is always an option, and there something can always be made with what is
