Sociology Zoo Trip
HLTH 101 Campus Scavenger Hunt
Climate for Health Ambassador Training
Community Oral Health Event
Madison’s Study Group
The first capture campus activity I participated in was the HLTH 101 Scavenger Hunt. My group and I went around campus and found the locations of resources we have available on campus. As an incoming freshman, I wasn’t aware of how many resources ODU had available to assist me. We visited the Writing Center, the Academic Resource Center, the Student Health Center, and several other locations on campus.

The second event I attended was the Climate for Health Ambassador Training where ODU nursing students discussed how we can make an impact towards climate change and what it is like to be a nursing student. At the end of their presentation, they answered questions about the nursing program and about their college experience in general which I found helpful and encouraging.

During the Community Oral Health Event, I learned that dental hygienists educate patients about oral hygiene and provide preventative care whereas dentists provide care for patients when a problem has already occurred. Up until this point I didn’t think the dentist did anything based on my personal experience. Every time I went to the dentist all they did was briefly look at my teeth and leave.

I attended Madison’s study group where I did homework and received advice about changing my major and contacting my advisor.

The last event I attended was the Sociology Zoo trip. During the trip, Professor Lopez asked us to apply sociology theories to different zoo animals to help us prepare for our theory quiz. This was my favorite event because I had not been to the zoo in a long time and enjoyed seeing and interacting with the animals.
