The ‘Healthy Living’ Lecture Series is a new initiative for the 2010 equity portfolio. ‘Healthy Living’ aims to combat many of the adverse lifestyle factors experienced by many students, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, bad sleeping patterns, and harmful conditions experienced by law students such as anxiety and depression.

The Blackstone Society will be hosting lectures for students addressing all these issues and more. Also, in the 2010 City to Surf, Blackstone will be entering a corporate-sponsored student team to promote the benefits of exercise and encourage a healthy balance in student life.
