The Embody Carolina Team consists of committee members who work throughout the year on our outreach, marketing and partnership initiatives. In the past, projects have included outreach for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, presentations for Panhellenic sororities and a partnership with the Lifetime Fitness course. In addition, several of our committee members lead the Embody trainings each semester.
