Free podcasts on health topics of interest to Emory students are available on http://itunes.emory.edu/ in the Exclusively Emory section. To access them: login (same as you would for OPUS), select “Campus Life” and then click on the “Health Promotion” album. If iTunes is not installed on the computer you are using, you will need to download free software before proceeding. We’ve created podcasts on sleep, stress, nutrition, hookahs, and more. New content coming soon!

You’ll also find videos and animated shorts including an introduction to Student Health and Counseling Services, healthy relationships, flu shots, and Swoop visits the doctor! We’re always eager to work with students interested in helping us develop and record podcasts. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Shirley Banks at 404-727-7312 or shirley.banks@emory.edu.
