Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of the "Improvements for the Fittest" campaign at Evelyn University in Massachusetts, with a focus on the rescinding of discrimination in the program. The campaign aims to promote a culture of inclusivity and equity by encouraging participation in physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits among university students. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and participant observation, this study examines the effectiveness of the campaign in reducing discrimination towards marginalized groups, including women, people of color, and individuals with disabilities. The results show that the campaign has had a positive impact on creating a more accepting and inclusive environment at the university, with many participants reporting increased feelings of inclusion and belonging. Furthermore, the study identifies areas for future improvement, such as expanding outreach efforts to reach a more diverse range of students and developing targeted programming to better meet the needs of marginalized groups. Overall, this study suggests that the "Improvements for the Fittest" campaign has the potential to be a powerful tool for promoting equity and inclusivity in university settings, and provides important insights for the development and implementation of similar initiatives in other contexts.
