Healthyhorns

Several Healthyhorns staff members attended the 2026 American College Health Association Annual Meeting in late May. The purpose of their attendance was to engage in professional development, deliver presentations and participate in poster sessions.

Highlights from the conference include:

Brittany Boyer, PhD – Presented "Driving Improvements: Operational Data Reporting in College Health," showcasing how institutions can use operational data to strengthen services and support student well-being.

Katy Redd, MPH, and Brittany O'Malley, MPH, presented Aligning Structure With Strategy: A Case Study in a Health Promotion Office Reorganization, sharing how the Longhorns Wellness Center reorganized to better align with a systems-based approach, strengthen collaboration, create clearer career pathways and improve organizational impact.

This conference provided a valuable platform for learning, sharing knowledge and advancing the well-being of the college community.
