Every year during National Public Health Week, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Public Health Student Association (PHSA) aims to educate the campus community on a variety of health topics.<\/p>\n

This year, the PHSA hosted an overarching event that would do more than educate; it would serve the local community.<\/p>\n

Mocs Sole Support allowed students to drop off shoes and clothing for donation to the local nonprofits Soles4Souls and First Things First.<\/p>\n

Emma Sampson, manager of the Department of Health and Human Performance\u2019s Master of Public Health program and faculty adviser for PHSA, said even a single shoe can make a difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many positive outcomes from donating your clothes, no matter how small,\u201d Sampson said. \u201cIt can go a long way and I loved that the students came up with it on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group collected more than 30 pairs of shoes and 10 bags of clothing. Sampson called it a \u201chuge success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was our first time doing it and we had such a great turnout,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that it\u2019s an awesome way to get students involved, even if they couldn\u2019t come to the big event. They could come and donate whenever throughout the week. We want to meet students where they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent graduate Cat Russert served as co-president of the PHSA and received her Master of Public Health during the spring 2026 commencement ceremonies.<\/p>\n

She enjoyed educating the UTC campus.<\/p>\n

Shoes collected during the event.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI decided to pursue public health because I like working with the public,\u201d Russert said. \u201cPart of that is engaging with other people and trying to get them to do things for their community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Educating the public came in the form of table games and activities, including trivia during the event. The PHSA partnered with the UTC Center for Wellbeing to provide prizes to participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of people come by asking us questions about public health,\u201d Russert said. \u201cWe had a wheel where they could spin, they\u2019d answer a question, and would be like, \u2018Oh my gosh, a question that\u2019s going to be so hard. I don\u2019t know anything about public health.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people started to play the game, they were like, \u2018Oh, that was a lot easier than I thought.\u2019 People don\u2019t realize that public health is intuitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russert highlighted the health resources available on campus and encouraged students to research the PHSA if interested in joining the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many initiatives just on campus that are public health oriented, like the Center for Wellbeing, or financial wellness organizations that students can visit and get in contact with someone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do things for the community like a shoe drive or a fundraiser for breast cancer research, but it\u2019s a little hard because graduate students are pulled in so many directions. If more people would like to learn more and be part of it, that would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n
