Body Image Coalition

The Cabrini College Body Image Coalition guides and educates all members of the campus community towards a lifestyle rich with body acceptance, wellness, and support.

Founded in 2007 by staff, faculty, and students Erin Morgan and Caitlin Mangold to address issues related to eating and body image, the group holds educational programs, brings speakers to campus, and hosts events.

Andrea J. Sussel, LCSW, specializes in this area and organized a multidisciplinary group modeled after Bryn Mawr College's.

Meetings
All are welcome to attend Body Image Coalition meetings in Founder's Hall Room 354 at 3:15 p.m. on the following Wednesday dates:
