PVCC Alumni Writes Must-Read for College Students Everywhere

The issues are universal for college students - stress, sleep, sex, booze, food, and exercise; but finding the resources to shed light on these struggles that actually speak a student’s language can be difficult to find, until now.

Paradise Valley Community College Alumni Dave Henry and his wife Jill have written a college handbook - The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed - designed to help college students manage their physical, mental, and emotional health while attending school. What makes the Henry’s book unique is the anecdotal stories from current college students sprinkled throughout that book that help the issues resonate with readers; the stories become more relatable, create more magnitude, and remind the reader subtly that they are never alone in their struggles.

The college will be conducting a virtual guest artist presentation on Zoom with the Henrys, 4 PM to 5:30 PM, September 21st. Hear the Henry's top tips for students and ask your most pressing questions. To join click https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81696179383.
