University Health Fair Each year, senior nursing students educate Villanovans about healthy lifestyles
and encourage them to celebrate their health through the Villanova University
Health Fair. As part of their senior health promotion project, students
collaborate with a faculty advisor, nurses from the University Health and
Wellness Center, and other health care experts to have a wide representation of
health and wellness topics at the fair. Students also seek support from local
businesses and Villanova organizations to enhance the event.
