PITT-BRADFORD RECOGNIZED BY EXERCISE IS MEDICINE® FOR CULTURE OF WELLNESS
BRADFORD, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is one of only 149 universities and colleges worldwide to be honored by Exercise is Medicine® for its efforts to create a culture of wellness on campus.
This is the fourth year that Pitt-Bradford has earned the gold designation and the sixth year that it has been recognized by Exercise is Medicine® On Campus.
Several activities helped Pitt-Bradford earn its gold-level designation. These activities include a referral system between health services and university’s exercise science program and the use of the Physical Activity Vital Sign through a student’s electronic health record, a main requirement for gold-level campuses. There is also an Instagram page that was run by Autumn Deblock, a senior exercise science major from Dingmans Ferry, as part of her internship with the program.
“I’m very excited to receive our fourth year of earning gold campus recognition,” said Dr. Mark Kelley, associate professor of exercise science and founder of the university’s Exercise is Medicine® program.
“To be one of only 72 universities and colleges in the world to receive gold makes me very proud to have this program at Pitt-Bradford. The combined activities that student affairs, campus recreation and exercise science offer helped us with this award. The plan is to get back to our prepandemic activities that we have traditionally held in October, including our Exercise is Medicine on Campus Week this fall”
Kelley accepted the award at the American College of Sports Medicine’s annual meeting in Denver.
The Exercise is Medicine on Campus program has recognized Pitt-Bradford every year since 2018. This year it is one of only 72 universities and colleges around the world to receive gold-level recognition for its efforts.
Exercise is Medicine on Campus calls upon universities and colleges to promote physical activity as a vital sign of health and encourages faculty, staff and students to work together to improve the health and well-being of the campus community.
Exercise is Medicine on Campus launched its recognition program in 2014 to honor campuses for their efforts to create a culture of wellness. Schools earn gold, silver or bronze status based on their activities.
Others involved in the Exercise is Medicine on Campus effort at Pitt-Bradford are Zac Stark, instructor of exercise science; Cassandra Preston, visiting assistant professor of exercise science, and Deblock.

Mt. Jewett, Pa.: The. Ruffed Grouse Society, a national conservation organization, is proud to announce that they will offer their popular Women’s Introduction to Wingshooting Program at the Mt Jewett Sportsmen’s Club on July 15-16 and August 19-20. On both Saturdays, the course starts at noon and ends at 4:00 p.m. On both Sundays, the course starts at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. The Program Leaders would like to fill five more slots with women.
No pre-knowledge of shooting is required. “We pride ourselves on helping a woman who has never even held a shotgun before learn how to become a wingshooter,” says Sue McClelland of Smethport, one of the instructors. “And owning a shotgun is not necessary; we have shotguns that the attendees can try for size and then use during the program. When you finish this training you can go on and shoot at targets for fun or hunt your choice of birds.”
You must register to attend this course, and it is on a first-come, first serve registration basis. “We only take twenty women into the program each year so we can maintain the quality”, offers Taylor Holt of Kane, another instructor. “And the neat thing about this program is that we have women instructors.”
Register by contacting wlhab9@gmail.com. Lodging is available, if needed, but is limited.

This afternoon, a PA State Police trooper was killed in the line of duty in Juniata County. Another trooper was shot and is now stable but in critical condition.
Each one put themselves on the line to protect their fellow troopers — and to protect their fellow Pennsylvanians.
