Dear Student Leader,
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.
--B.K.S. Iyengar
The 2009 Wellness Expo will be held on November 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Sam Rayburn Student Center. This year's theme is: "Follow Your Instincts: Discover Your Path To Wellness."
The Wellness Expo is held every year in an effort to provide Commerce and the surrounding communities with valuable health and wellness related information. The Wellness Expo Planning Committee invites local merchants, service providers and campus offices to participate in this community outreach project free of charge. Last year we had over 50 exhibitors and hundreds of community members and students participate, and we are looking forward to another successful event.
We are looking for student displays to enhance this year's Expo. Your display should relate to one of the 7 Dimensions of Wellness: Physical, Intellectual, Social, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental, or Occupational. Be creative! To confirm your participation in this year's Expo, simply fill out the attached application and return it by Wednesday, October 28th. Please note that your booth/exhibit will need to be completed by November 12th so the Planning Committee can review it for accuracy of information.
Student exhibits will be judged and the best booth will win a $100 cash prize. Booths will be judged on presentation of information, intractability of exhibit, and creativity. Each Wellness Expo attendee will be able to cast one vote and ballots will be counted at the end of the event. The average score of attendee votes will count towards half of the score. The other half of the score will be the average of the votes from the Wellness Expo Planning Committee.
Please feel free to contact us at the Student Health Center, located in Henderson Hall if you have any questions or would like to discuss your potential involvement further. You may contact us by phone at 903.886.5853 or by e-mail at Shelly_Hodge at tamu-commerce.edu.
Again, any contribution would be greatly appreciated. We recognize your commitment to being involved in the campus/community and hope that our program is of interest to you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
The Wellness Expo Planning Committee

7 Dimensions of Wellness
The concept of wellness stresses a balanced, controlled approach to the seven dimensions of wellness. Careful attention to each of the seven dimensions of wellness will allow you to achieve academic and personal success at university.
Emotional Wellness:
Your willingness to be aware and accept a wide range of feelings in yourself and others. An emotionally well person can freely express and manage their feelings, thoughts, and behavior. An emotionally well person functions alone, yet is aware of personal limitations and the value of seeking support and assistance.
Environmental Wellness:
Your willingness to actively participate in and contribute to efforts to protect and renew the environment. An environmentally well person recognizes the importance of individual effort in preserving the environment through recycling, energy conservation, careful product selection etc.
Intellectual Wellness:
Your willingness to self-direct behavior, which includes continuous learning, development, creative application and articulation of critical thinking and expressive/intuitive skills and abilities. An intellectually well person assimilates what is learned in the classroom with what is experienced outside the classroom in order to enhance their potential for living a more fulfilling life.
Occupational Wellness:
Your personal satisfaction and enrichment you experience through work. An occupationally well person has integrated their commitment to work in to a total lifestyle that is rewarding and seeks to express personal values through that involvement.
Physical Wellness:
Your willingness to pursue an active lifestyle. A physically well person understands and uses the relationship between nutrition, activity, performance and health.
Social Wellness:
Your willingness to actively participate in and contribute to common welfare of your community. A socially well person lives in harmony with fellow human beings, seeks positive interdependent relationships with others, develops healthy sexual behavior and generally works for harmony in both personal and community environments.
Spiritual Wellness:
Your willingness to seek meaning and purpose in human existence, to question everything and to appreciate the things which cannot be readily explained or understood. A spiritually well person seeks harmony between what lies within as well as the forces outside.
