Programs
1. Wellness Jeopardy
A. Facilitated by Diana & Cathy on Oct. 24th with an attendance of 8
people.
1. The group was small and energetic who seemed to enjoy
themselves.
2. The program was conducted as half its length due to poor
attendance.
B. Facilitated by Diana & Chris on Nov. 1st with an attendance of 20
people.
1. The participating group was very active and responsive while
answering many questions correctly. The RAs also enjoyed
participating in a minor role along with their students.
2. The RAs had to retrieve attendees from the hallways which
bothered some students and final jeopardy seemed too difficult
for most of the students to answer.
C. Notes
1. A good portion of Cathy’s first couple of weeks at HEP were
spent editing and practicing for Wellness Jeopardy. Diana and
Cathy went through all of the questions and chose the ones that
needed to be changed. Cathy, Kathleen Yumul (Sleep, Stress
and Mental Health Student Assistant), and Chris made a few
edits to some of the questions while changing the question
altogether for others. The introduction is a little different.
Diana sent in a marketing request to get those new cards
printed out and ready for next quarter. Lastly a new final
jeopardy question was created. Diana and Chris tried it out
once, but it seemed to be too difficult still. Diana worked on a
new one and we will test it out next quarter when we get a
program request.

Projects- Nutrition
1. Harvest Garden
A. Activities
1. Prepared the fall garden for planting of the fall crops by pulling up
the old plants from the summer garden and amending the soil.
Diana created a planting plan based on where previous plants had
been planted, which produce HEP wanted in the garden, and
where they should be located based on sun exposure. Made a trip
to Ace Hardware to pick up organic soil amendment and the
seedlings starts. Requested volunteer help for all gardening
events.
2. Planted the garden with chives, cabbage, cauliflower, radishes,
beets, Swiss chard, beets, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, scallions,
oregano, and tarragon. Some plants stayed in the garden from
previous plantings because they were still doing very well. These
include: peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, lemon verbena, thyme,
and sage. The produce has not been harvested yet, the plants are
growing much slower than in the previous year. But some are
looking pretty mature, so we should be harvesting soon. And
when that does happen the fresh produce will be placed at the
front desk with a sign and bags letting people know that it is free,
fresh, organic produce for them to take.
3. Diana showed the volunteers where to find the garden log and
task list, and the shed key. The volunteers also toured the garden
and were shown the tool shed and everything that was available
to them for working.
4. Signs for all the produce in the Harvest Garden were created and
requested by the marketing department. Most of the plants in
the garden are plants we haven’t planted before so a lot of
research was done to find the nutritional information and facts
about the produce. The Harvest Garden website was updated and
all the new produce in the “What’s Growing” section was listed.
Diana wrote up an entire “How-To” guide for the Harvest Garden.
This includes prepping the garden, panting the garden,
maintaining the garden, making signs for the garden, and
maintaining the garden.
B. Data/Numbers
1. Plants in ground planted: 81
2. Different types of plants: 12
C. Meetings
1. Diana attended a volunteer meeting to introduce the volunteers
to the Harvest Garden and the types of tasks they will be doing
while working in the garden.
D. Future Plans/Goals
1. The garden will be left on it’s own over winter break, but will
picked right back up in January. Harvesting the garden will be a
top priority and then the garden will be maintained as best as
possible until spring planting takes place. Once the signs for the
Harvest Garden are printed out and returned to HEP, they will be
put in the garden. As soon as the produce is mature and ready to
pick Diana will put up the “Please Pick” signs. Also, Diana will be
talking to Merril Lavezzo (Social Medial Coordinator) about
putting some information about the Harvest Garden in either the
listserve or the Facebook page or both. Lastly, Diana and Lindsay
can get the ball rolling on getting a sign for the whole Wellness
Garden. On that note, if that ends up taking place, Diana will be
conducting a focus group to get student input of what types of
things they would like to see in the sign.

2. UC Davis Farmer’s Market
A. Description of project activities and progress
1. Holly updated the UC Davis Farmers Market vouchers to better
match the style of the whole market, vouchers were re-ordered,
and Diana requested grant money from the EPPC for HEP’s
voucher program – HEP was given $300 for the year. Normally is
given money quarterly, but EPPC changed it this year. Also, HEP is
receiving a little less money than normal, but they’re funds have
been cut down drastically.
2. At volunteer training Diana facilitated the Farmers Market tabling
activity to help orient them to what it is like tabling at the Farmers
Market. Also, before the first market took place Diana went into a
Thursday meeting to let them know about the market, where to
find the supplies, and everything they needed to know before
going out and tabling.
3. Requested from Tamara to reprint the voucher stickers with a
new expiration date. The vouchers are now good until the end of
spring quarter. This is a change from previous years when the
vouchers expired after the end of the quarter.
4. Had difficulties with the table reservation situation at the Farmers
Market for the first few weeks. HEP was reserving the table
through the MU Information desk – which is a new process as of
this year. They hadn’t worked out all the kinks yet and had
doubled book the table with us and another club. Diana talked to
Dani Lee, (Manager of UCD Farmer’s Market) about solutions to
this problems and ways to avoid it again if possible. Because HEP
is an official sponsor of the UCDFM, they are actually given a table
within the Farmers Market. Diana worked out the kinks with the
information desk and all was resolved.
5. There were difficulties getting enough volunteer help at the
Farmers Market. They all seem to have class right at the time we
need them to table at the market.
6. The voucher program played out differently this year than it has in
past years. Last spring quarter HEP handed out 480 vouchers and
had 56% redemption rate. However, this fall quarter HEP only
handed out 156 vouchers and had a redemption rate of 11.5%.
This is a dramatic difference and HEP needs to go a little deeper in
determining what was different and how it can be improved. After
the markets ended HEP received the vouchers back and Diana
recorded their tracker numbers and calculated statistics for the
vouchers. This includes determining how many vouchers (and
which numbers) were handed out at each event ranging from the
market, to Wellness Jeopardy, to Ryann’s cooking classes. Then
Diana tallied the number of vouchers redeemed from each event
and calculated the redemption rate for each one individually.
Then Diana calculated a total redemption rate. These stats are
important because the can be used in helping request grant
money from the EPPC for vouchers in following years.
7. The Rapid Market Assessment also ended up not happening this
quarter. This was due to the fact that the markets ended
November 14th – nearly 4 weeks before the quarter ended. Diana
didn’t realize it was coming so fast and didn’t have time to
prepare the volunteers for conducting the assessment. Volunteers
were guided through “how-to” guides and detailed instructions,
but no assessments were filled out.
8. Created a whole “How-To” guide for the UC Davis Farmers market
from facilitating the farmers market activity for the volunteers, to
reserving the table at the silo, to printing and explaining the
voucher program.
B. Data/Numbers
1. Vouchers handed out: 156
2. Vouchers turned in: 30
C. Future Plans/Goals
1. Next quarter the Farmers Market will not be taking place. Diana
will focus more on brainstorming some better ways to distribute
vouchers that will increase redemption rates. Diana will also be in
contact with Dani in regard to which table placement she thinks is
better for HEP to be at.
2. Diana would also like to reorient the volunteers to tabling. They
may have had a hard time grasping the concept of what it means
to table and the different tasks they should be performing at the
market. Diana plans to clear things up and improve the tabling all
around and therefore increase voucher distribution and
redemption.

A. Diana
1. Sometime next quarter a meeting should be set up between
Diana, Linda Adams, and Dani Lee to discuss furthering the Happy,
Healthy Apple logo into the Coffee House. Also, Diana would like
to hear about any updates on the vending machine progress.
2. Next quarter Diana will begin work on the Fruit Tree Map. Diana
plans on adding this to the already existing Fruit and Vegetable
Map.
3. This task will require a lot of research and environmental scanning
by the volunteers, so Diana will be working closely with them next
year.
Projects- Physical Activity
1. Wellness Carnival
A. Planning Process
1. Timelines
i.
The first step of the quarter was to create an outline for the
Wellness Carnival and make sure it was spaced out in a timely
way and adjusted for at 2 extra weeks in case anything went.
Cathy and Chris set aside a few office hours directly focused
on this timeline and finished it within week 2 of the quarter.
They referred to the timeline of the physical activity student
assistant PASA) from last year, but had to adjust for the
change in calendar dates. Timelines can be seen under C. File
name and path of important documents.

B. Important steps
1. Meeting with Campus Recreations & Unions
i. Cathy & Chris have been working with Danielle and Brian,
who are both new to their positions, and have not taken
part in organizing any of the previous WC’s. They have
been very helpful and seem as equally excited as the
PASAs are about this event. There were a total of 5
formal meetings with them this quarter, and the
meeting details are kept in the server under “Meetings.”
The meetings included discussion about location, time,
and appropriate marketing slogans. Everyone also went
over each department’s role, where HEP was to gather
promotional items, participants, and plan out the
majority of the event. Campus Recreation & Unions
decided to organize the raffle, set up the location, meet
with Band-Uh!/Gunrock, and assist with marketing. The
communication between HEP and Campus Recreations
& Unions went very smoothly and any questions were
emailed before each meeting to be added to each
meeting agenda.
2. Focus Group and Promotional Item
i. Cathy and Chris organized a focus group with the Mental
Wellness Student Assistant Kathleen. The main purpose of
the focus group was to find out what themes, times, and
promotional items would best suite the carnival this year.
Multiple drafts of a script for the focus group were created
and tested out with the HEP volunteers at their Oct. 18th
meeting. They suggested that the PASAs do either the
“Wellness Style” theme based off of the Gangnam Style or
“Game of Wellness” based off of the Game of Thrones and
have simple promotional item useful for winter or related
to the theme. Potential themes included the following:
1. Game of Realms
2. A Realm a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
3. Don’t Worry, Be Healthy
4. Dance Dance REALMolution
5. Got Wellness?
6. Wellness Style
Ultimately the PASAs decided that a focus group wasn’t
necessary to finalize the details of the carnival because we
had enough information from the volunteer meeting. The
“Wellness Style” theme was decided upon with the
promotional item to be sunglasses after consulting with
Polly and Holly about budget and familiarity to the theme.
ii. After researching different possibilities, the PASAs decided
on sunglasses with white frames and blue sides because
they go well with our theme. The sunglasses were chosen
as an exclusive promo item, and only the first hundred
participants who complete a passport will get one. The
rest will receive our awesome flying discs.
3. Gathering Participants
i. It was surprisingly difficult to get organizations to
participate in the WC. For the first month and a half or so
after sending out the application, Cathy and Chris were
barely getting any responses. After sending out several
emails through HEP’s gmail account, Cathy realized that
the emails might have been going into people’s spam
folders. Cathy then decided to resend them through her
personal UCD gmail account and extended the deadline
several times. Every week, Cathy gathered a new list of
emails (about 20-30 emails) from different organizations
and sent them the participant application.
ii. At two weeks before finals week, the PASAs only had
about 10 participants. Cathy personally asked her friends
who are in clubs to talk to their Presidents and sent out
the application to as many organizations in Davis as she
could. Links were added to the Aggie article about the
2012 WC as well as a link to Aggie TV’s coverage of the
2011 WC in order to raise interest and give orgs a better
idea of what the WC is. Now it is finals week, and there are
over 20 organizations signed up! The only one that PASAs
are still struggling with is the environmental realm, so
Chris and Cathy will continue to email organizations
throughout Winter break.
iii.
The PASAs emailed applications to over 50 school
organizations and departments with the assistance of the
Campus Student Involvement website. The PASAs wanted
to focus on campus only student orgs and departments to
emphasize the resources students have here. After the
initial email the deadline was extended at least 3 times for
a total of 3 weeks. The breakdown of organizations and
applications is listed below.
o 1st & 2nd Deadline (11/14/12 & 12/4/12)
 Colleges Against Cancer
 Physical Therapy and Massage services
 New Dawn Treatment Centers-not a campus org
and encouraged to apply with ABiDE

everyone involved. They will also market the event through social
media with Merril and Campus Recreation & Unions.
2. PA Campaign
A. Description of project activities and progress
1. Cathy and Chris brainstormed a few ideas with Polly and
Lindsay. Cathy and Chris plan to create an outline for the
campaign immediately after the Wellness Carnival to cover the
week of the campaign and all preparation before. They did
come up with a few ideas that include making the “Work It”
week more interactive through social media. This would
include messaging or posting on the SHCS Facebook page
about locations where students would do a small activity or
take a picture and get a free prize from HEP volunteers. Polly,
Chris, and Cathy had some great ideas for promoting physical
activity, and came up with a strategy where events are held
that lead up to the campaign kick-off week at the quad. Using
our SHCS Facebook page to make announcements, we could
have various scavenger-hunt-like activities that allow students
to explore campus and win prizes while helping our media
pages gain attention. The new Wellness supervisor, Lindsay,
will be overseeing this project next quarter, and they are very
excited to get this campaign started up again!

A. Description of project activities and progress
1. Chris and Cathy contacted Brian Rose via email on 11/19/12 to
introduce themselves as this year’s PASA’s as well as to inform
him of some of the changes they would like to make to the PA
Map. Cathy realized that none of the places on the map had
addresses, so she will be working on gathering those as well as
making sure that all of the information currently on the map is
up to date. Chris and Cathy want to add trails to the
“Walking/Jogging” points or biking/running routes, as well as
new activities, such as bowling, rock climbing, leagues, and etc.
However, it does not seem as though there are any places to
bowl besides at the campus MU bowling alleys. Chris reviewed
all broken links, mainly city parks, and spoke with Lindsay
about making the map interactive or emphasizing it as a social
online tool for students. More work for this will be done next
quarter.

4. Future Projects/Notes
A. Chris
1. In my first quarter as a Physical Activity Student Assistant
(PASA), I spent most of my time split between doing two main
activities that include the 2013 Wellness Carnival and Physical
Activity (PA) Campaign. I found it very helpful working with
my co-physical activity student assistant Cathy because we
both had great communication to update each other and keep a
good pace of finishing our objectives in a timely manner.
Working with Polly was also very helpful because she provided
great insight and kept reminding us of previous ideas/events
that were taken into consideration when planning the
Wellness Carnival and PA Campaign.
2. Keeping a strong communication line with the volunteer
coordinator, social media student assistant, and the other
Wellness student assistants helped streamline all processes
necessary to stay on track with our quarter goals. Changing
supervisors from Polly to Lindsay was a seamless transition
and assisted Cathy and I greatly near the very busy stages of
the quarter.
B. Cathy
1. This was my first quarter working here, so I was continually
learning about HEP and the SHWC throughout the quarter,
from policies and procedures to all of the different resources
and wonderful staff members. I am very glad to have Chris
Servera as my fellow Physical Activity Student Assistant
(PASA), and I think that we work very well together and have
many of the same goals as PASA’s. Although the PASA’s before
us split up the planning/organizing of the Wellness Carnival
and the PA Campaign, Chris and I decided to both take full
leadership of both events. This quarter, our main focus was the
2013 Wellness Carnival.

Programs
1. Wellness Jeopardy
a On February 19, 2013 Cathy and Chris facilitated a Wellness Jeopardy
program for the Thompson dorm building in the Segundo residence area.
This program involves transporting the jeopardy board and other
jeopardy materials to the location, setting up, overviewing the seven
realms of wellness, facilitating the jeopardy game, handing out prizes and
pamphlets, answering any questions, cleaning up, and filling out
evaluations. At this program there were 19 participants.
b Things that went well at this program include the pace, the amount of
participation from the audience, the enthusiasm of the participants, and
the amount of people in attendance. Another notable positive note was
that the Resident Advisors helped with the setup.
c Some things that could be improved upon include being more objective
with answers and calculating the earned points while playing the game
instead of at the end.
d Some other notes from the program include the fact that the Resident
Advisors dominated most of the participation, the final jeopardy question
being too subjective, and that only 14 evaluations were collected from
the 19 participants.
1. Wellness Jeopardy
a On February 25, 2013 Kathleen and Chris facilitated a Wellness Jeopardy
program for a class in Wellman, room 115. This program involves
transporting the jeopardy board and other jeopardy materials to the
location, setting up, overviewing the seven realms of wellness, facilitating
the jeopardy game, handing out prizes and pamphlets, answering any
questions, cleaning up, and filling out evaluations. At this program there
were 19 participants.
b Things that went well at this program include the enthusiasm of the
participants, the timing and pace of the program, the enjoyment the
participants seemed to have while playing the game, and the feeling and
setting of facilitating a program in a classroom.
c Something that could be improved upon is emphasizing to the
participants to ask more questions during the game.
d Some other notes from the program include the suggestions from the
participants wanting more clear questions that final jeopardy went well
even though neither team answered the question correctly. A final
suggestion from the facilitators is that HEP should try to facilitate more
jeopardy programs to clubs, organizations, or classes on campus.
Events
1. Wellness Carnival 2013: Wellness Style
a Wednesday, January 16th, 2013; 5:30-7:30PM; ARC Lobby
b This was the 6th annual Wellness Carnival co-sponsored by HEP and
Campus Recreation & Unions. The purpose of this event was to increase
students’ awareness of the Wellness Portal and the 7 realms of wellness.
Several campus organizations participated by each representing one of
the realms. They came up with interactive activities to educate students
about how to increase their wellness in that particular realm. Sheets of
paper called “passports” were given out to students and they received
stamps after participating in the interactive activities from the respective
realms. After earning a stamp in each of the seven realms, they filled out
the evaluation on the back and received prizes and a raffle entry. The first
100 participants to turn in their passport received our limited-edition
sunglasses.
c Participants attended: Estimated at 400
Passports handed out: Approximately 279
Passports turned in: 79
Number of participating organizations: 20

●
The first thing we did was create a timeline to organize the
various tasks we had to do and the estimated week we would
have to complete them by. Other important steps included:
1.
We updated the organization contact list since
presidents/leaders change almost every year.
2.
We met with Campus Recreation & Unions (CRU) as soon
as possible to confirm the date, time, location, and other
important details for the event. We continued to communicate
with them throughout the planning process.
3.
Once the necessary information (date, time, location,
theme) was decided, we sent out the applications to organizations.
Our application form can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/a/ucdavis.edu/spreadsheet/viewform?f
ormkey=dEl6Qmp2SzBDQ2lORHpGV3pQSGRiVHc6MQ#gid=0
4.
We sorted all of the incoming applications into their
potential realms. The Google form spreadsheet organized the
responses, but we had to decide which realm to put the
organizations in based on how they ranked the realms that fit
their organization. For each realm, we had around 3-5 groups, not
including the Love Lab, the HEP table, or the Campus Rec &
Unions table.
5.
Once we finalized which groups were in the event and
which realm they would represent, we sent out their acceptance
emails as well as the rejection emails.
6.
We assigned each group to a table/space according to the
layout provided by CRU, and we kept in mind their special needs
(extra space, outlet, etc). We created different layouts: one for
volunteers and one for participants, then we out the layout to
participants and asked for a reply for confirmation.
7.
We sent in the volunteer request form early so that the
Volunteer Coordinator could prepare for the event. We typed up
a list of duties for the volunteers, including detailed descriptions
of what they have to do before, during, and after the event. We
sent them a layout with the locations of where they will be
needed, and how the event will be set up so that they can
familiarize themselves with the layout and be ready to guide
participants.
8.
We made sure all of the necessary materials are ready,
including promotional items, pamphlets, banners, signs, prizes,
passports, stamps, pencils, tape, etc. We got the stamps, markers,
and tablecloths from Tamara. The banner, passports, and
promotional items/prizes were from Holly. The pencils and tape
were already in the office. We printed out the 8x11 signs
ourselves using the printer in the office.
9. We reminded everyone who will be representing HEP at the
event to wear their HEP t-shirts!

Projects- Harvest Garden & Nutrition (Diana Grandi)
1. Harvest Garden
a Project activities and progress
i Cleaned up the garden after having been away for multiple weeks.
Some of the plants were falling over, some were dead or dying. I
took out the old tomatoes, some old flowers, harvested the
radishes and the peppers, and did a major cleanup throughout the
garden. This included taking leaves out of the garden beds, raking
the paths, and pulling weeds.
ii After harvesting the radishes and peppers I gave the produce to
the student staff because there was not enough to hand out at
the front office.
iii Considered planting for a second time because we were left with
some empty spots. However, Ace Hardware didn’t have any
seedlings and they are the business we go through because they
do purchase orders (PO) which are easy ways for HEP to purchase
the seedlings and soil. Redwood Barn Nursery did have some
good organic seedlings, however, trying to get a hold of them to
determine if they did POs proved to be difficult. It got too late in
the season to plant any more seedlings and we decided to wait
until spring planting to plant more.
iv I created a Harvest Garden Planting Journal for this year very
similar to the planting journal I created last year. This is a
document of information about everything that happened in the
garden this season. It is an excel spreadsheet that includes the
planting date, the type of plant, the spacing that plant needs
between each seedling, the production results, the issues we ran
into with the plant, the end dates of the produce, and the location
the produce was planted in the garden bed. The document can
be found on the server at: HEP:Health Ed:Wellness:201213:Diana:Harvest Garden:Fall2012HarvestGardenData.xlsx
v Lindsay and I worked together to create a new way for the
volunteers to record the time they spend in the garden. I had
noticed that volunteers were not working in the garden on days
that I was requesting for them to go down. The old Garden Log
and Task List was too long and elaborate for the volunteers to
follow and it seemed that they were passing over most of the
tasks that needed to be done. So we created a small, easy to
follow checklist for the volunteers to use when they are in the
garden. The only things they are required to do are clearing the
garden beds of leaves, raking the leaves off the path, weeding,
and watering if the soil is dry.
vi The Physical Activity Campaign is in the process of being planned.
There will be a Gardening Day event as a part of “Work-it-Week”.
This will take place on the morning of May 3, 2013. We have
scheduled this event to line up with the time many spring
plantings would take place, so the student who participate will be
able to plant some of the summer produce seedlings. I have email
the Segundo Residence Garden and the Salad Bowl Garden about
participating because they were involved last year and it would be
great to have them participate again.
b Future plans/goals
i The future plans for the garden include continued maintenance
and upkeep through the effort of both myself and the volunteers.
ii Spring planting will take place on May 3, 2013 and will be an
event for “Work-it-Week”.
2. UCDFM
a
Not many projects or activities took place this quarter regarding the
UCDFM. The market does not take place during winter quarter, so in the
past ten weeks many meetings, brainstorming sessions, and new ideas
took place and were implemented. Progress has been made in multiple
categories of the market.
i The HEP table has relocated within the market. Instead of
reserving a Silo table like we did last Fall quarter, we are now
going to be located at a table specially reserved for sponsors of
the market. This will be within the actual market instead of right
outside of it. The table will be next to the Sodexo table where
they will be handing out food samples. Also, we will be able to
store the wheel and other materials at the Silo. This will be very
beneficial because the volunteers will not have to carry the wheel
across campus every Wednesday.
ii New Media Outlets. We will be using different media techniques
to help get word out about the market and the HEP table at the
market. We want to highlight our table, the wheel game, the
prizes to be won (vouchers, nap kits, flying disks) and the frequent
buyer card with the raffle. We will be doing more Facebook
marketing and newsletter marketing. We will also be utilizing
Sodexos efforts for marketing the UCDFM. They put out a
newsletter every week about the farmers market with
descriptions about the market, the vendors that will be there, etc.
We have been in contact with Jordan, an intern from Sodexo who
puts the newsletter together every week about adding
information about our vouchers and the frequent buyer cards.
iii Our goal is to hand out 1,000 vouchers next quarter. This means
we will have to do much more than just our volunteers handing
them out at the market. However, the highest redemption rates
are from the ones that are given away at the market. We decided
that the best way to hand out more vouchers and increase
redemption rate is to have multiple places throughout the market
handing out the vouchers. We will talk with the vendors and
other campus groups that work the market if they would be
interested in handing out vouchers. We are also going to try
handing out two vouchers to each student to try to increase their
incentive to use it to buy something.
iv We also want to increase the distribution of the Frequent Buyer
Cards. In order to do this we are going to ask the vendors at the
market to hand out the cards as well as initial them after a
student buys something from them. This will eliminate us as
having to be an “in between step” that customers have to go to to
get their card stamped.
v We have discussed getting new costumes for the market. We
focused grouped the student assistants and health educators and
decided on a sugar snap pea and a strawberry. It doesn’t look as
if the costumes will be ready for the spring market kick-off, but
hopefully we will have them sometime next quarter.
vi In fall, one Rapid Market Assessment was attempted at the last
market of the quarter, but not enough surveys were filled out to
bring in any significant data. For next spring quarter, there are
already three different dates set up for the RMA to be conducted.
These will be the last three markets of the quarter. We want to
have three dates just in case one of the weeks something goes
wrong -- we want to make sure there are enough filled-out
surveys to gather important and useful data.
vii Another new element of tabling at the market that will be
implemented next quarter is the evaluation that is required to be
filled out after every market. The evaluation includes the date of
the market, the names of the volunteers, the number of vouchers
handed out, the total number of visitors to the HEP table, and
space to explain if there were any problems encountered, and a
space for other comments. This document can be found on the

3. Healthy, Happy, Apple Logo
a The Healthy, Happy, Apple Logo is a logo found in many campus dining
locations that indicates the healthy food options. This was implemented a
few years ago by Sodexo and can be found in the Dining Commons on
campus, the convenience stores on campus, the Silo, and the Halal food
truck located at the Silo. Not much has happened this quarter in regard
to the logo.
b The future of the logo is ambitious yet achievable. The goal for the logo it
to get it located at every food vendor on campus. This means the CoHo -which has previously been difficult to work with and not wanting to
participate in the logo. However, there is a new manager at the CoHo,
and we are hoping that he will be more open to implementing the logo.
The next accomplishment it to try to get this done. There are some
interns at Sodexo that might be able to help us with getting the ball
rolling and getting the logo into the CoHo.
c A document containing the history and other information about the
Apple logo can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:201213:Diana:Healthy Happy Apple Logo:HHALogoHistoryInfo
4. Healthy Vending Machines
a Last year healthy options were added to the kitchen vending machine at
the Student Health and Wellness Center. It was not taken too well by the
consumers because prices were too high and people still wanted
chocolate, soda, and other snacks that weren’t available any longer. So
the healthy options were taken out and we went back to the beginning.
Nothing new has taken place this quarter about the vending machines.
b Some future action for the vending machine project includes meetings
with Linda Adams next quarter to see where the project might be headed
and what we can do to help it progress. There are a group of honors
students on campus that are trying to start a project with healthy vending
machines, so there is some potential partnering that could happen in the
future.
c A few years ago HEP conducted a healthy vending machine survey. I
gathered this information and put it into a folder incase the group of
students contacts us. We can give them the information we have and
offer help if they would like it. This folder of information can be found on
the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Vending Machine Info
5. Fruit and Veggie Map
a Nothing new was added to the Fruit and Veggie Map this quarter. I did
general upkeep things like making sure the business hours, the phone
numbers, and websites were still correct. I made sure the images are all
still working. I also rewrote some of the introduction about the map on
Davis Wiki.
6. Letter to the Editor of The Aggie
a There was an article in the California Aggie on January 9, titled “Healthy
for the Holidays”. It discussed how to lose holiday weight. We noticed
they used a lot of negative terms and had a few tips that HEP didn’t
necessarily agree with. I wrote a letter to the editor about the article. I
didn’t want to point out the parts of the essay that we didn’t agree with,
so instead I focused on the positive good things the article said, and
plugged for the Physical Activity Campaign.
b The letter to the editor can be found on the server at:
HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Nutrition Writings:Letter to the Editor
healthy for the holidays[final]
7. Fruit Tree Environmental Scan
a This quarter I began planning for the Fruit Tree Environmental Scan. This
is a difficult scan to conduct because it involves the volunteers going out
onto campus and into downtown Davis and finding and identifying fruit
trees. I know the volunteers aren’t arborists, so I did a lot of research
about fruit tree identification and came up with an identification guide
for the volunteers to take with them when looking for trees. I’ve also
broken the UC Davis campus and downtown Davis into different zones.
So each group of volunteers will be given a zone to scan and document
the trees they find. I’ve also created a sheet to fill out once a tree is
located. All of these documents along with how-to guides and
instructions for the volunteers can be found on the server at:
HealthEd:Wellness:2012-13:Diana:Fruit Trees in Davis Environmental
Scan
b The environmental scan will begin the second week of spring quarter on
Monday, April 8 and will continue for the following three weeks. This
project will be on going for year to come though. Every fall and spring I
suggest the nutrition/wellness garden student assistant plan and conduct
this environmental scan because there will always be trees that were
missed or new ones to record. Also, I think it would be great if every new
quarter we could expand the boundaries of the scan and hopefully
eventually all of Davis could be scanned for fruit trees.
8. Brainstorm: HEP Website -- Nutrition
a I am in the very beginning stages of planning for a Nutrition website for
HEP. Some ideas I have include:
i Tips and tricks for eating smart
ii What is a serving?
iii what does 200 calories look like?
iv Facts about dieting and why “dieting” isn’t necessarily healthy
v Food logs
vi What a day of foo looks like for people with different caloric
needs based on gender, age, and lifestyles
vii Myths about eating healthy
viii Easy, Healthy, Recipes
ix Other campus or online resources
b More documents with explanations for each of these topics and other
ideas can be found on the server at: HealthEd:Wellness:201213:Diana:Nutrition Webpage
Projects- Physical Activity (Cathy Huang & Chris Servera)
1. PA Campaign
a We are preparing for the 2nd annual Work It Week (WIW). We’ve
contacted the EXB Club, Public Health Club, and the Student Health and
Wellness Committee because they were all involved in last year’s
campaign. The EXB Club and the PHC have both shown interest in
participating in WIW 2013. The SHWC replied asking about funding, but
after we replied to their question, they never contacted us back. We are
not going to consider them as a part of our campaign this year.
i The PHC is still planning their event and will let us know soon. So
far, we know that their event will take place the evening of
Wednesday, May 8th.
ii The EXB Club had a lot of great ideas for their event, such as
Zumba and weight training, but nothing has been finalized.
iii Diana is in charge of organizing the gardens’ participation in WIW.
We are also preparing a physical activity tracker that will be passed out
throughout WIW and the week after. The main purpose of the tracker is
to encourage students to engage in some form of physical activity for a
week and learn more about how simple it is to incorporate physical
activity into their daily lives. The tracker was outlined by Cathy and was
later reviewed with Holly, Lindsay, and Chris. The first draft can be found
in section f.
b See section f
c N/A
d No meetings have taken place so far, but we are planning to meet with
the EXB Club and the PHC during the beginning of next quarter.
e We plan to obtain further details of all events from the organizations
involved. We also anticipate that the final water bottle and tracker design
will be completed soon.

2. PA Website (Chris)
a This quarter the website underwent a few renovations along with the
rest of the HEP website. More emphasis was placed on individual topics
and making the website easier to navigate. Lindsay was the main person
to focus on the website, but Chris was tasked to look up different
resources and links that would be appropriate for the HEP physical
activity and wellness website pages. The main idea for the resources is to
promote local and simple PA for people who are relatively sedentary and
do not engage in much activity. The main focuses for the physical activity
page included:
i A calendar of national and local events
ii Tips on how to get started through local venues
iii PA Workout Sites & Calculators
iv Online Trackers

4. PA Phone Applications (Chris)
a The main goal of creating a list of PA phone applications is to promote
easy and convenient ways that students with smartphones can engage in
physical activity. The list cut down to 20 applications mainly use Android
or Apple smartphones, but was also created to incorporate a few tablets
as well. A final list of 20 phone applications was created to keep the list
small and simple for students to navigate through. I wanted to make sure
that the applications placed an emphasis in physical activity, but diverse
enough for a wide range of college students to try out. There are a couple
of applications that were chosen based because they only offered music
that was specifically designed for working out or enjoying a specific type
of physical activity. Categories and additional information will be included
once a meeting is held with Adam and Lindsay to see how the application
list will be organized on the website. Downloadable PDF files were
discussed as a potential method of placing the list on the website. Criteria
for selecting each application included:
 3.0 or above overall user rating
 Related to fitness or physical activity directly
 Was used by at least 100,000 people the previous month
 Regularly updated or maintained by application company
b Timeline
 Week 5
o Research phone application barriers and popularity
amongst college students, especially physical activity
applications. Kevin Tran assisted with finding articles.
 Week 6
o Review and analyze other school websites on physical
activity and phone application usage.
o Look over varying list by technology publications about
their annual top physical activity/health phone
applications
 Week 7
o Create criteria to add an application and look up various
phone/tablet applications that focused on physical activity
while meeting criteria.
 Week 8
o Review each application individually and sample the ones
available on my phone.
o Create a final list of applications
 Week 9
o Present list to student assistants and staff.
o Review organization of list and possible methods of
promotion on website
c 20 phone applications were found
d Meetings
 Met with Lindsay about placing the list on website.

5. Barriers to PA Research (Cathy)
a I used the internet to research various barriers to PA while focusing on
sites and studies that related to college students. This main reason for
doing this was to gather data and information that could help us improve
WIW by coming up with a campaign that was better suited for our target
population.
So far, my research shows that lack of time is definitely one of the biggest
barriers for college students. This coincides with our slogan “work it in
10+10+10 work it out,” which tells students that they can break their
30min of PA a day into three 10-minute bouts.
I’ve also found a lot of studies that showed that lack of access to work
out equipment and facilities was a barrier for students, but I feel as
though this does not apply to our campus. Davis is very bike-friendly, all
students have free access to the ARC as well as PE classes, and there are
several jogging pathways/parks around the city. However, I do believe
that it would help to raise awareness about the different parks and other
possible places for PA around the city, and hopefully this can be achieved
through our PA map.
Another large barrier that students face is feeling too tired to workout or
engage in any form of PA after long days of school and work. I believe this
issue is being addressed in our campaign through our promotion of nonsports-like activities. Simple decisions, such as leaving the house a bit
earlier to walk to campus rather than taking the bus, could lead to health
improvements, and this would be a great message for students to grasp. I
think that this barrier goes along with the lack of time, and to address
both of these issues together, I believe it would be helpful to give
students tips on how to incorporate PA into everyday activities. For
example, they would do squats while brushing their teeth, lift weights
with one arm while writing notes with the other, do jumping jacks while
waiting for their food in the microwave, and etc.
b Ongoing
c (see filepath in section f)
d N/A
e
My goal is to to use the data that I find to develop a PA campaign that
effectively promotes PA among UCD students, especially those who
usually engage in little to no PA.

Projects- Harvest Garden & Nutrition (Diana Grandi)
1. Harvest Garden
a. Project activities and progress
i.
Cleaning up the Garden: I emptied the garden of the old winter produce and did an
overall cleanup of the garden area. This included weeding, removing old plants and roots,
raking the leaves, etc.
ii.
Preparing the Garden for Spring Planting: I contacted grounds about cleaning up the
leaf droppings, making sure the irrigation was set correctly, etc. I also scheduled dates and
times for picking up soil and seedlings from Ace Hardware as well and when to amend the
soil and I picked a planting day. These dates can be found under the section titled
“Timelines”.
iii.
Gardening Day as a part of “Work-it Week”: This year we incorporated our spring
planting day into “Work-it Week”. Gardening is a good way to get some physical activity
in. We also contacted the Segundo Residence Garden and the Experimental Community
Garden to see if they were interested in participating in our Gardening Day. They both
wanted to participate, however, both gardens eventually stopped responding to my emails
and we don’t have any data from how either of their planting days went. The EC
Community Garden did respond saying they didn’t have any participants, though. Our
Harvest Garden had two participants, and help from the volunteers as well.
iv.
Spring Planting: Took place on May 3rd from 9am-10am. Myself, 3 volunteers, and
two student participants were involved in the planting. This is the list of produce planted in
the garden: Basil, zucchini squash, cucumber, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, fennel,
parsley, gold medal tomato, brandywine yellow tomato, cayenne pepper, shishito pepper,
bush beans, large red cherry tomato, arugula, mustard brassica, collard greens, cilantro,
tomato, inion chives, pole beans, fresno pepper, ancho pepper, cantaloupe.
v.
Updating Website: I made a list of new produce (listed above) and requested for the
“What’s Growing” section of the website to be updated.
vi.
Purchase Order Process: I determined how much we spent on previous planting
seasons and requested a purchase order of $200 for soil and seedlings.
b. Timelines
i.
Sunday, April 28: Pick up soil amendment from Ace Hardware with Lindsay.
ii.
Monday, April 29: Removal of old winter garden plants from garden beds. Plants
that were kept in the garden include: sage, oregano, thyme, and lemon verbena.
iii.
Wednesday, May 1: Amend the soil with help from the volunteers.
iv.
Friday, May 3: Spring planting day. Plant seedlings in the ground.
c. Data/Numbers
i.
Harvest Garden: 2 participants
ii.
Experimental College Community Garden: No participants
iii.
Segundo Residence Garden: N/A (never responded to emails)
d. Future plans/goals
i.
Summer Maintenance: I created document that outlines how to maintain the
Harvest Garden over the summer. This will be used by the student assistant working in the
office over the summer and the Wellness Health Education, Lindsay. It will be the student
assistants job primarily to maintain the garden over the summer.
ii.
Fall Quarter: I have created many “how-to” guides for the new student assistant
taking over my position, so the transition between people will go as smooth as possible.
e. Path to important documents
i.
HEP: Health Ed: Wellness: 2012-13: Diana: Harvest Garden
1. UCDFM
a. Project activities and progress
i.
New Table Location: HEP now has a new table location within the Farmers
Market. We are not located within the market at a Sponsors of the market table right next
to the Sodexo food demo table. This move has been very beneficial to our table. We get a
lot more traffic and when we had out vouchers to people they are more inclined to turn
around and buy something from the market because they are already so close.
ii.
Voucher Distribution Changes: This quarter we started handing out two vouchers to
each person instead of one. We did this because people are more inclined to buy
something from the market when they have two dollars. It is difficult to find something at
the market for only 1 dollar. This change has proved to be very significant in increase
voucher redemption.
iii.
New Costumes: We replaced the old peach and carrot costume with new
strawberry and snap pea costumes. These are a big hit at the market -- attracting a lot of
people and bringing a good amount of attention to the HEP table.
iv.
Rapid Market Assessment (RMA): The RMA was conducted over the course of 4
markets. This was to increase the amount of surveys taken so we could get the best data
possible.
v.

a. 85% were students; 10% staff; 3.3% visitors
b. 79% spent $0-$5; 15% spent $6-$10; 2.5 % spent $11-$15
c. 36% were there to buy fresh produce; 27% to experiene the atmosphere;
11% other; 8% to visit the HEP table; 7% to buy other food items
d. 50% first heard about the market by just happening to walk by; 21% word of
mouth; 8% flyers/bulletin boards
e. 44% have been to the market 0-3 times this quarter; 30% 4-6 times; 25% 7+
times
c. Future plans/goals
i.
Continue on with the changes made this quarter because they have proven to be
very successful changes.
ii.
The new student assistant will need to make a proposal to the EPPC next fall quarter
about granting more money towards vouchers. She will need to bring in information about
redemption rates, how much the vouchers cost to print, how much they are worth, etc. The
new student assistant will need to contact the chair of the EPPC and request to come to a
meeting to make the proposal. In the past they have granted money on a quarterly basis,
which meant that I had to go into a meeting both fall and spring quarters to make my
proposal. However, this year they granted a certain amount of money to HEP that was
intended to be used for the entire academic year.

1. Fruit Tree Environmental Scan
a. Project activities and progress:
i.
I created everything needed to conduct the Environmental scan last quarter, so
everything was ready to go at the beginning of this quarter. The environmental scan packets
included the Fruit Tree Identification Guide, the large zone map, the close up map of the
individual zone, and the list of trees identified and their locations.
b. Timelines
i.
Thursday, April 4: Volunteer meeting to discuss how the scanning will work and
what is expected of them. I requested groups of three people with at least one person who
has a decent camera to take pictures of the trees. I also mentioned that it might be nice to
have someone in each group (particularly for the farther zones) who has a car and is willing
to drive.
ii.
Monday, April 8: Environmental scan began. It will continue until all of the 27 zones
are scanned -- even going into next fall quarter, and possibly into spring of 2014 if needed.
c. Data/Numbers
i.
So far I have only received two completed zone packets.
ii.
Zone 6: 2 kumquat trees, 1 loquat tree, 1 fig tree, 1 plum tree.
iii.
Zone 9: 2 fig trees.
d. Future plans/goals
i.
The new student assistant will have to pick up where I am leaving off. I have created
a document that explains the process I took in creating the zones, how the scanning works,
how to round up the volunteers to do the scanning, etc. I will leave as much information as
possible to that she can successfully complete this project. It is a very big project and will
take a few quarters to complete.
ii.
Expanding/creating new zones to be scanned to hopefully one day all of Davis can
be scanned for fruit trees. Hopefully when all of the zones I have created have been
scanned, whoever is in my position will start a new round of zones that goes above 5th
street. Maybe in a few years we will be able to scan all of Davis for fruit trees.

1. Fruit and Veggie Map
a. Project activities and progress
i.
I edited the main introduction of the Fruit and Veggie map on Davis Wiki and the
Google Map.
b. Future plans/goals
i.
Continue checking the map to make sure the locations, hours of operation, location,
phone numbers, and websites are still correct. Also make sure the links of the pictures are
showing up because there has been some problem with that in the past.

Projects- Physical Activity (Cathy Huang & Chris Servera)
1. PA Campaign
a. Description of project activities and progress
 The main part of the PA Campaign was “Work It Week” which is discussed under the
Events section of this quarterly report. More detailed information about “Work It
Week” can be found in the WIW Report, whose location is also listed in the Events
section. Other than WIW, the PASAs worked in depth with Merril (Social Media
Coordinator) on promoting physical activity through Facebook and her biweekly
emails to the HEP listserves. The PASAs also organized three water bottle drops that
the volunteers did throughout May (5/16, 5/23, & 5/30). There was a
communication issue in finding the correct date between Chris and Amanda
(Volunteer Coordinator) because the volunteers had signed up, but didn’t report
anything after either day. For future water bottle or promotional item drops, it is
suggested that the dates of the drops be scheduled in with part of “Work It Week”
or near the very beginning of the quarter.
b. Timelines
c. Data/Numbers
 5/16: 14 trackers, 5 water bottles
 5/23: Not recorded


5/30: Not recorded
PA Trackers returned in May: 45
d. Meetings (include dates and persons in attendance)

e. Future plans/goals (if applicable)
 The reports written throughout this quarter will hopefully provide insight for future
PASAs in how to organize the PA Campaign and how to improve it.

2. PA Map & Website
a. Description of project activities and progress
 This quarter there was less emphasis placed on the map or website because more
work was placed into organizing the PA Campaign. Chris wrote a summary of the
links he found that could be added to the website along with updates to the map,
such as the new park updates reviewed by the City of Davis. There was also a
summary written for the smart phone applications that can be used later on for
future presentations or campaigns.
b. Timelines
c. Data/Numbers
 N/A
d. Meetings (include dates and persons in attendance)
 No meetings were planned. Contact with the City of Davis was reported through
email.
e. Future plans/goals (if applicable)
 Summaries will hopefully serve as way to guide what type of links and information
HEP would like to promote next year on their website.
