Our Lady of the Lake University has earned Silver-level recognition from the Exercise is Medicine on Campus Committee, an initiative of the American College of Sports Medicine. The recognition honors OLLU’s commitment to educating students, faculty and staff about the benefits of physical activity and to fostering a culture of wellness on campus. The certificate below identifies OLLU as a “2026–27 Silver Campus.”
OLLU’s Exercise is Medicine on Campus (EIM-OC) program began in fall 2024 and has included initiatives such as the President’s Walk, the SAINTS Challenge, a blood pressure monitoring program and educational sessions. OLLU is the only campus in San Antonio to be recognized as an EIM-OC campus.
OLLU leadership will be recognized at a ceremony in May during ACSM’s Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The OLLU EIM-OC leadership team is led by Dr. Emily Sauers, Professor in Kinesiology, and includes Karen D’Amata, Director of Counseling and Wellness Services, Prof. Michael Maspero, Instructor in Kinesiology, and Kinesiology students Isai Moran and Isabella Maldonado-Esparza.
