Around campus you notice increased attention on game days and alcohol use. That is because for some of our students football games and alcohol-related game day activities puts them at greater risk of harm.  The Do’s and Don’ts campaign promotes school spirit while encouraging behavior to reduce alcohol-related risks. With 22% of college students nationally drinking at least weekly, this initiative helps students enjoy game day traditions, like the 'C-A-T-S Cats, Cats, Cats' cheer, while emphasizing strategies to lower alcohol-related risks—such as drinking water between alcoholic beverages, eating high-protein meals, and limiting alcoholic drinks to one per hour. For some students sporting events often correlate with binge or heavy episodic drinking, which can lead to serious consequences, including academic decline, health problems, and an increased risk of accidents or assaults, affecting both drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

Led by POWER, a well-being prevention unit at UK, this campaign also promotes social wellness, part of POWER's promotion of the SAMSHA 8 dimensions of wellness. By encouraging positive social interactions and lower risk decision-making, it helps students establish habits that contribute to long-term well-being. Simple tips, such as moving your car before 7 am and sticking with friends, further promote safe, fun, and memorable game day experience for everyone.

The Collegiate Recovery Community provides a no-cost support system to students who are working to improve their addictive behavior, who are curious about making changes, and those who are impacted by their friend or family member's addictive behavior. Weekly recovery meetings are entirely student-led and are all-recovery welcoming.

The student conduct process helps students learn, mature, and develop greater self-awareness while balancing the needs of the UK community.  When student behavior does not model UK’s values, the student conduct process is used to uphold the standards of UK. The Code of Student Conduct (Code) promotes the core values of the UK, including integrity, respect, responsibility and accountability, and sense of community. For more information on the Office of Student Conduct click here.

Intuitive eating is an evidence-based practice that provides a self-care eating framework. It helps you relearn your body’s hunger and satiety cues to determine what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. Intuitive eating is learning to honor and trust your hunger, your food, your feelings, and your choices.

What Does Intuitive Eating Mean?

Intuitive Eating Studies

Benefits of Intuitive Eating

HAES, or Health at Every Size, acknowledges that well-being and healthy habits are more important than the number on the scale. HAES works on disproving societal expectations of thinness by proving that health is independent of body size.

Principles of HAES

1. Weight Inclusivity: Accept and respect the inherent diversity of body shapes and sizes and reject the idealizing or pathologizing of specific weights.
2. Health Enhancement: Support health policies that improve and equalize access to information and services.
3. Respectful Care:  Acknowledge our biases, and work to end weight discrimination, weight stigma, and weight bias.
4. Eating for Well-Being: Promote flexible, individualized eating based on hunger, satiety, nutritional needs, and pleasure, rather than externally regulated eating plan focused on weight control.
5. Life-Enhancing Movement: Support physical activities that allow people of all sizes, abilities, and interests to engage in enjoyable movement, to the degree that they choose.
