2021 Recognition Ceremony
Exercise is Medicine proudly recognized 153 schools for their efforts in 2020. Due to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, campuses who demonstrated creative adaptations to physical activity programming received the "COVID Conquerer" badge.

The Relevance of Best Practices Surrounding Programming in the Midst of COVID-19
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) established an Exercise is Medicine on Campus (EIM-OC) program in 2016 with the goal of connecting campus health care providers and exercise professionals to provide exercise plans for students. Last year the UNC program achieved gold status for its efforts to create a culture of wellness on campus. Just as the campus leadership team streamlined its referral program, COVID-19 hit the U.S. Students were sent home. Learning became virtual. Campuses closed, causing the UNC EIM-OC team to pivot quickly to remain an accessible and useful resource. Join Dr. Lee Stoner, Kathleen Stanford, and Alex Pomeroy as they talk about adaptations, as well as barriers and successes found throughout this past year.

Community partnerships provide real world experience for students, while providing service to the local community.

University students are educated on the aims of EIM in health care, potentially certified as EIM health fitness professionals, and guided on how they can play a role in making physical activity an integral part of health care.

Silver level campuses must be engaged in at least (3) of the following: * My campus hosts classes that teach students the fundamentals of EIM on Campus and their potential role in fulfilling the mission of EIM?
