Healthy Student Organization Program

The Healthy Student Organization Program supports student organizations and groups in laying the foundation for retaining happy, thriving, and engaged members. HSOP recognizes organizations for their efforts in various health promoting activities including social, intellectual, emotional, professional, and physical well-being.

What does the Healthy Student Organization Program include?

Officers can schedule a free individual consultation with our program manager to write goals and devise strategies for their organization.
Resources - HSOP members receive information and resources to access programming on or off campus.
Community and Networking Opportunities - Meet a group of likeminded students and support one another in implementing healthy activities all year long.
Recognition - Organizations that reach bronze, silver or gold status based on the HSOP point system are publicly recognized in April by the City of Austin. Organizations are also showcased across HealthyHorns Social Media accounts.
Pillars of the Forty Acres - Organizations receive points towards meeting distinguished or exemplary status for the Pillars of the Forty Acres Awards.
