UI students help get kids moving to reduce childhood obesity
More than 100 Iowa City-area elementary school students participated in Healthy LifeStars, an initiative from the University of Iowa College of Public Health staffed by current UI students that fights childhood obesity by encouraging students to be more active and eat more nutritious food. Childhood obesity has become a serious public health issue in the U.S., as more and more children are classified as significantly overweight. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the number of obese children in the United States between the ages of 6 and 19 has tripled since the 1970s, rising to 20% in 2015. In Iowa, about 18% of children between the ages of 10 and 17 are obese, according to 2018 data from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Looking to alleviate some of the stress on the park's infrastructure, the National Park Service worked this spring with four University of Iowa students in the Tippie College of Business full-time MBA program to develop a new tour bus-management strategy.
