Save the Date! Move More Scholars Institute May 6-9, 2008
December 28, 2007
The Move More Scholars Institute is being planned for May 6-9, 2008. The Move More Scholars Institute (MMSI) is an intensive four-day training course for community-based physical activity professionals in North Carolina. Scholars learn how to promote and support physical activity in their communities by using evidence based strategies to create polices, practices, and environmental changes. The course is taught through educational sessions led by nationally recognized faculty, formal and informal interactions with faculty and other scholars, and small group projects.
The MMSI supports the Eat Smart, Move More…North Carolina initiative through a curriculum focused on developing policies, practices and environments that promote and support physical activity. Up to thirty professionals from across the state will be selected to attend through a competitive application process. Details about the application process will be released in the near future. You can read more about the MMSI in the Journal of Preventing Chronic Disease, July edition.
