The document summarizes the mission, history, activities, and future plans of the Public Health Awareness and Mobilization (PHAM) student group at a university. PHAM's mission is to promote campus health and wellness through educational outreach, community support, and adoption of healthy behaviors. Formed in 2010-2011, PHAM has 21 members and organizes events on topics like alcohol awareness, flu prevention, sexual health testing, and relationship violence prevention. Looking ahead, PHAM interns plan to focus more on mental health and nutrition while continuing signature programs and revising existing campaigns.
