Winners Are…

11. PEEPles Take On College
Woods How Do I Stay Healthy at UNH? Like my “PEEPles”,
I like to hike, jog and take leisurely walks through
College Woods.
Working at UNH affords me a wonderful
environment to stay healthy while enjoying the
great outdoors right in our own Durham backyard.
What better way to take in the crisp spring air
than to follow the meandering trails, all the while
enjoying nature’s beauty and getting fit. I first
discovered College Woods in 1981 while a student
at UNH. Over the next four years, involved in
ROTC, I navigated through the woods, day and
night, getting to know my surroundings.
Now, 33 years later, I still love to wander along
those very trails which, year after year, continue to
offer me endless opportunities for physical exercise
and mental rejuvenation. If you haven’t been out
there, grab your water bottle, hiking shoes or
sneakers and get moving! You will be glad that
you did!

12. Hanging with My Peeps on T-Hall
You have peeps enjoying each others
company doing a variety of things. Our lovely
sunbathers are relaxing after hard exams. We
have peeps playing frizzbee and soccer
getting some exercise. The skateboarder and
walkers are out adventuring or possibly
burning calories walking to class. Don’t forget
our peep chilling in the hammock. Everyone of
them is enjoying the sunshine including the
peep with the broken foot he even had a few
friends sign his cast. Being outside and active
on UNH’s walking campus is just part of how
me and my peeps stays healthy here at UNH.

13. Feeling Fabulous
One peep is trying on her new, pink bikini. She
comments on how great she feels in it. All of her
peep friends can’t wait to get out of their dorm
room and onto the beach!

14. UNH IT Walks with FitBits
When UNH IT peeps walk from West Edge to campus, we wear our
FitBits.
This Diorama depicts typical lunchtime activity of our staff walking the
path between Main Campus and West Edge enjoying the nature while
getting healthy. Along the way we see horses, flowers, and wildlife.
Wearing a FitBit allows us to keep track of calories burned, number of
steps, how many hours we sleep, and more.

16. “Let’s Get Physical!” at UNH
Here at SHARPP we love that UNH Rec
provides many different classes for our students
to stay healthy, fit and stress free at UNH. In
our diorama we focused on an exercise class
that should be offered here at UNH.
JAZZERCISING! There is Zumba but we at
SHARPP love to stay jumping around and
active. We also have a strong appreciation for
the eighties. One of our Student Workers
named her car Olivia Newton John. So we
decided we would do a jazzercising class in the
UNH Rec, because we stay healthy by Dancing!

17. Peep Pool Party
We decided to create a diagram of Peeps at
the UNH outdoor pool. We showed our peeps
performing typical summertime instrumental
activities of daily living (IADL). Their occupations
include swimming, diving, life guarding, sun
bathing (with sunscreen), tossing a ball,
snorkeling and safely swimming with flotation
devices. These activities help to relieve stress
and create a healthier college student!

18. Pool Party Peeps
Our diorama is depicting a UNH swim meet at
the Swasey indoor pool, with students competing
and watching the event and showing their UNH
pride. This signifies how we stay healthy at UNH
through the exercise received from swimming,
while also showing social health through
interaction with the others around us.
These two occupations work together in making
individuals lifestyles healthier by decreasing
stress and allowing us to stay active.

19. Peeps Play at Quad Way
There’s never a dull moment at the Upper Quad!
Being a resident in a dorm means lots of
different activities go on- all of which promote
health and wellness. Whether it’s filling up your
water bottle at a hydration station or playing
frisbee with friends in the courtyard, the
opportunities are endless. In addition, the Upper
Quad recently banned smoking in the courtyard
to promote an even healthier environment. The
occupation of being a student at UNH is made
easier with a healthy, active lifestyle.

20. Strolling With My Peeps
We like to stay healthy at UNH by walking
instead of driving everywhere we go! This
picture shows the peeps “strolling” down
Main Street with Thompson Hall in the
background and wildcat paw prints in
front of them. Our diorama shows there
are many more peeps walking than
driving which should be promoted through
out UNH’s campus. By walking everywhere
on campus instead of driving, we are
promoting healthier life styles at UNH!

22. Peeps at the Pool
There are many ways to stay healthy at UNH. One thing I
like to do is head over to the Swasey Pool for a lap swim
and a relaxing dip in the water. Active events
periodically take place at the pool including pool
kayaking, SCUBA classes and even swimming lessons!

23. M.V.Peep
I chose to represent healthy living at UNH through one of
the school’s most treasured past times: football! One of my
favorite aspects of this school lies in its sense of
community. You can’t walk more than 50 feet without
seeing someone wearing a UNH shirt or sweatshirt or just
anything that has the Wildcat logo on it. Football, along
with hockey, are sports that the fans flock to. The school
pride in itself makes you feel exhilarated! Healthy living
should entail things that people love doing, such as
attending football games or even playing in them.
Walking to the field, running on the turf, and hydrating
are all things that happen at a field that has to do with
healthy living. I hope you enjoy my diorama and that it
adequately embodies the spirited nature of your very
own Wildcats!

24. 4 Seasons of Health
UNH campus gives you the
opportunity to stay healthy
throughout the year! In the spring,
intramural sports such as
volleyball are easy to join. During
the summer, the Durham Outdoor
Pool is perfect to swim some laps
in. College Woods is a beautiful
place to walk or jog in the fall,
and cross-country skiing trails are
open during the winter at
Kingman Farm. Outdoor on-
campus activities are always
available, and they are excellent
for relieving stress and
developing physical fitness.

Peep Into Stress Relief at UNHOur Peeps Shows entitled “Peep Into Stress Relief at
UNH”. Our goal in creating this diorama is to show the
importance of meaningful occupations to alleviate some of
the stress we as UNH students all experience daily.
Between classes, papers, financial concerns and other
issues students constantly find themselves stressed out.
We’ve included in our diorama some activities students can
do to alleviate this stress-- these include
(L)yoga; (M-B) relaxing on ”T-hall lawn”; playing frisbee
on ”T-hall lawn”; (M-F) heading over to Mendum’s Pond to
rent a kayak, go for a sail with the sailing team, or row
with the rowing team;
(R) go for a run or join in for the annual half naked whole
mile!
In order to stay healthy at UNH it is important to be
involved in meaningful occupations that are important to
us individually for stress-relief, to learn new things, meet
new people, and of course, just for fun! Getting away from
the daily grind is important to stress-free college
student life!
