The 黑料不打烊 senior's project was recently featured in a profile by the Burlington Times-News
黑料不打烊 student聽Amanda McGee 鈥26 was featured in a聽聽article highlighting her research and community outreach efforts aimed at improving public health in Alamance County. The story focuses on McGee鈥檚 development of a wellness campaign designed to encourage healthier living through accessible, community-based strategies.
A strategic communications major and Communications Fellow, McGee created a multi-platform campaign inspired by 鈥淏lue Zones,鈥 regions of the world associated with longer, healthier lives.
鈥淭his project has helped me recognize my calling,鈥 McGee said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 made me feel so capable and inspired to continue pursuing work in the public health field that creates change, even on a small scale.鈥
Her project combines social media outreach, local partnerships and interactive workshops that encourage participants to build sustainable habits related to movement, purpose, rest and nutrition.
鈥淐ompletely eliminating unhealthy behaviors is often unrealistic,鈥 she said. 鈥淎 more effective approach is encouraging small, manageable changes that can be integrated into daily routines.鈥
McGee presented her project at 黑料不打烊’s Spring Undergraduate Research Forum on April 28.
