Exercise is Medicine® on Campus (EIM-OC) is a program calling upon universities and colleges to engage in the promotion of physical activity as a vital sign of health. EIM-OC encourages faculty, staff, and students to work together toward improving the health and well-being of the campus community by:

• Making movement a part of the daily campus culture.
• Assessing physical activity at every student health visit.
• Providing students, with the tools necessary to strengthen healthy physical activity habits that can last a lifetime.
• Connecting university health care providers with university health fitness specialists to provide a referral system for exercise prescriptions.

As a participant in Exercise is Medicine On Campus(EIM-OC), which calls upon universities to promote physical activity, the University of Illinois has entered the Mascot Challenge. Universities were tasked with creating a video exemplifying the theme "Together We Move." Watch Campus Rex and Buddy learn about the importance of being active!
