Dr. Mike Perko -- UNCG public health education professor -- has a launched a new effort called 500 Fist Bumps to improve child wellness.

We want to decrease loneliness, anxiety, or social isolation through connection within the UNCG community. We want everyone to feel like they belong here, which will help us all enjoy UNCG and be more connected.
