Week of Events Dedicated to Skin Health
Skin Health Awareness Week will occur March 5-8. IRB approved research was conducted at Truman regarding the skin protection behaviors of college students. After surveying students, it was found that 25 percent of students do not use the proper SPF of 30 or higher, and 55 percent of students never see a dermatologist to get their skin checked. Skin Health Awareness Week will provide information on skin health throughout campus. For more information or to become involved with Skin Health Awareness Week, contact Courtney West at cnw1111@truman.edu.
