 "Nix the Fix": Free smoking cessation classes
Recreation, Fitness, and Wellness will offer free smoking cessation classes on four consecutive Wednesdays, September 6-27.

“Nix the Fix” will meet from noon to 1 p.m. in University Center Room 215 (UC 215) and will be led by Stephanie Walden-Schwake, assistant director of Recreation, Fitness, and Wellness.

The class is specifically targeted toward USI students but faculty and staff are welcome.
 
“Most college students view smoking as a social activity that they will stop after college,” she said. “However, statistics show that most people don’t stop after college. The longer that someone smokes, the harder it will be to stop.”

Participants receive free materials and a quit pack. Sessions also will be offered at 5 p.m. October 4, 11, 18, and 25; and at noon November 7, 14, 21, and 28.

Walden-Schwake said she is working with the employee wellness committee to schedule a Cooper Clayton Start to Stop class for University employees. Look for future announcements in University Notes.

To sign up for the class, call the Recreation and Fitness Center at 812/461-5268. For more information about the class, call Walden-Schwake at 812/461-5269.
