Councilmember Zoe Cadre presented a proclamation recognizing the Longhorn Wellness Center student staff and praised undergraduates and graduates who volunteer, intern and work at the University of Texas center.
Cadre identified Katie Reed (executive director), Sarah Frey (manager) and Britney O'Malley (associate director) and emphasized the center's role in health promotion, training and peer education. “What starts here changes the world,” Cadre said, citing the university motto while presenting the proclamation.
Sarah, a manager at the Longhorn Wellness Center, told council that “this academic year, we had 127 students closely support our office with some folks working up to 20 hours a week with us. Of those, 32... will be graduating.” She described student staff as “the heartbeat” of the center and credited them with shaping health-promotion and prevention efforts on campus.
The proclamation recognized graduating students and the center’s contributions to campus well-being. The transcript records no new city funding or policy directives tied to the proclamation.
The council and center staff invited attendees to a group photo and thanked student staff for their contributions to campus health programming.
