SI 3.3 Comprehensive Healthy Lifestyle Support Programs

[3.3] Healthy lifestyle support programs for students and staff

Description:

Siam University’s Health and Well-being Policy, approved by the University Council on 30 October 2024, commits the University to accessible fitness and recreation facilities, nutritious and affordable food on campus, workshops and counseling on healthy eating, and a “No Smoking” campaign that also covers e-cigarettes. The Safety Policy adds a safe and healthy workplace for all staff and students. Table 1 shows how these commitments are delivered across the six services in the HURS list.

Active living. The Sports Center and the Siam Sport Complex are open to staff, students and the public. Siam Sports Fair and the Hukwang Games 2026 (20–29 March 2026) drew more than 1,000 people a day, with Zumba and line-dance competitions alongside the inter-faculty games, and International Day of Yoga 2026 (19 June 2026, “Breathe, Stretch, Connect”) brought about 100 students, staff and members of the public together to reduce stress and build healthy habits.

Healthy eating. The Faculty of Pharmacy and the Thai Health Promotion Foundation launched the Kidney-Friendly University campaign on 19 August 2026, which encourages less salt and seasoning and works with campus food vendors. Occupational Health and Safety students trained canteen vendors on safety and sanitation on 13 June 2026, and the Phasi Charoen District Office inspected the canteens on 18 June 2026.

Smoke-free and drug-free campus. The Last Puff smoking-cessation program of the Faculty of Pharmacy has run since 2012, with a 35% quit rate, a 41.94% fall in cigarette use at six months and 92% client satisfaction; smoking on campus fell from 68.10% in 2013 to 25.50% in 2018–2019. Students continue the work through the “My Space Is Smoke-Free” project and World No Tobacco Day activities, and the University works with the Phasi Charoen District on drug prevention.

Safety, finance and other support. The Occupational Health and Safety Programme runs Siam Safety & Healthy Week and won a national safety innovation award in 2026. The Faculty of Business Administration provides financial literacy training, and the Faculty of Medicine shares reliable health information through “Siam Cares for Health”. The new Dental Center (opened 17 June 2026) serves staff, students and the public.
