Tabling

Awareness Activities make health information available to all students. The most common type of Awareness Activity is "tabling". At a campus-wide event, interns set up a table at a populated location on campus. There, they will distribute information about Student Health, as well as health topics of interest to students.

For example, National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW) is where STAR interns get out the message of responsible and safe drinking on campus and Isla Vista. The have NCAAW information tables, ask the Chancellor to write a letter of support in the Daily Nexus, present programs, and do project hydrate (pass out free water bottles with health and alcohol information labels) on a Friday night on Del Playa. Interns are also active in special events sponsored by other community and university organizations.

Often, Interns will make their table and presence known. For instance, STAR interns can sometimes be heard shouting, "Find out how many beers it takes you to be over the limit." Interns will be able to exhibit their communication skills through this type of information sharing. They spread information about resources and health topics by passing out pamphlets, discussing them, and answering questions.
