Methods: At a large public university, 22 undergraduate students competed individually or in pairs across three dining halls. Participants had 20 min to cook an original meal using dining hall resources and three \"mystery ingredients.\" Twelve campus judges evaluated the dishes. Open-ended qualitative feedback was collected from participants and judges; swipe-card data tracked program reach (1,716 entries). Results: Participants reported perceived stress relief, increased creative expression, enhanced social/emotional connectedness, and greater engagement in healthy food preparation. Motivations included cooking interest, social interaction, competition, novelty, and academic break. Judges noted increased student-staff interaction and community building. Conclusions: Experiential, dining-hall-based programs can support student wellness by fostering social connections, reducing stress, fostering creativity, and promoting healthy eating. Leveraging existing campus resources offers a feasible way to boost student well-being and campus connectedness.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149074797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We used a survey to assess students' perceived comfort, ability to obtain, and importance of accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH), general healthcare, and menstrual products. Results: Students perceived access to all health products as important but hard to obtain. Those who had used EC reported SRH products as more important and found the vending machine to be of value compared to those who had not used EC. Participants reported barriers to access and advocated for an on-campus vending machine.

Methods: Instrument development occurred through two phases of testing involving expert review, pilot testing, and iterative refinement.

Results: Findings supported a three-factor structure representing hazing confidence, hazing knowledge, and hazing beliefs. The final solution explained 83% of variance.

Results: Findings indicated that marijuana use, older age, lower religiosity, depression, and diminished sense of belonging were among the strongest predictors of binge drinking. Conclusions: This study found that marijuana use, emotional distress, and diminished belonging were associated with higher predicted risk of BD, whereas loneliness showed the opposite pattern.
