Third-year doctor of physical therapy students (left to right) Deidra Pelletier, Brian Mcneaney, Cortney Krechkin, Robert Cochrane, and Scott Strawser participated in the annual UNE Employee Benefits Exposition held November 3, 2011 on the Portland Campus. 

For the second year, students completing a course on health promotion and disease prevention partnered with UNE's Wellness Committee to provide a valuable service to the University community, and also obtain a real world educational experience. This year's health promotion efforts focused on: prevention of office work station injuries; safe lifting techniques; and smoking cessation.
