WHY A PEEPS SHOW

UNH Health Services brings the UNH Peeps Show to the UNH community in an effort to encourage creativity and self-awareness about the variety of ways one can be healthy and well at UNH.

Health is much more than eating well and exercising, and each year the dioramas created for the UNH Peeps Show illustrate that very point.

Nominees

Are…

Gone Fishing: Be Back at Peep ThirtyABOUT THE ENTRYOur Wildcat Peeps are at Mendums Pond exploring the area, fishing, canoeing, and overall experiencing the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors. These peeps are taking some down time and focusing on their health by exercising with water sports and decreasing their anxiety levels by just being outdoors.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PEEPS SHOWWe participated because we like to support other offices at UNH with events that they are doing and this is a great way to educate students on easy and fun ways to stay healthy.

Ballin' with my Peeps ABOUT THE ENTRYIn our diorama we have our peeps being active and having fun by playing basketball by Stoke hall. They are engaging with others within their community while taking care of their bodies as well as balancing leisure/personal time with their studies. There are also some bystanders sitting on the grass outside of Stoke socializing with each other while watching the basketball game. One of them is also reading a book.

Our entry illustrates social, physical and occupational wellness because our peeps are balancing leisure with work, building connections and engaging with others while having fun being active and staying fit playing basketball.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PEEPS SHOWWe participated in the Peeps Show for our class.

Healthy Occupations Through the Seasons

ABOUT THE ENTRYFor our presentation we displayed healthy occupations throughout the different seasons. Each section portrays different occupations that are meaningful to a majority of the students within the UNH campus. Having meaningful occupations promotes health in different says, such as mental health, physical well being, and socialization.

Peeping at Animals ABOUT THE ENTRYPeeping at animals is a demonstration of how interacting with animals can relieve stress, promote socialization, and encourage physical activity. From visiting the UNH horse barn and doing some therapeutic riding, spending time with Hamilton the therapy dog, or even watching those cute and fluffy UNH squirrels scamper along Thompson Hall lawn, students and faculty alike can reap the benefits of spending time with animals.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PEEPS SHOWTo demonstrate the knowledge gained through the topics discussed in OT 610.

Peeping into the Future at UNH

ABOUT THE ENTRYA few peeps watch in amazement as Frankie Peeprullo conducts a ground-breaking experiment in front of the beautiful Thompson Hall. There is no better place for the IT Department to test their latest and greatest technology! We keep our intellectual minds sharp and healthy!

Club Dimond ABOUT THE ENTRYWildcats take a study break in UNH's Dimond Library while the circulation desk pump some mad beats. Shaking your booty is a great way to relieve stress and gain a better self image. We know our depiction of Dimond Library is a bit out there, but doesn't it make you want to get your groove on and shake your tail feathers?

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PEEPS SHOWBecause it's so much fun making the display!!!
