The goal is to reach 1,000 participants across the nine campuses in five days.<\/p>\n<p>Each year the nine new Student Government Association Presidents who comprise the UL System\u2019s Student Advisory Council commit to a service-learning project.  Last year\u2019s project was promoting recycling with Keep Louisiana Beautiful. This year, SAC chose to promote physical and mental wellness at the nine universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur student leaders are to be commended for coordinating this project not only for going above and beyond their commitments in the classroom, but also for targeting a very real problem in Louisiana,\u201d said UL System President Sandra Woodley.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Louisiana had the highest rate of obesity at 34.7 percent in 2012.    Because of obesity-related health conditions, people who are obese annually spend $1,429 more in medical expenses than those of normal weight, and the total estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe encourage our fellow students, the faculty and staff members on our campuses, and members of our university communities to participate in next week\u2019s events.
