R.A.M. Initiative
Welcome to Shepherd University and the R.A.M. (Ready, Aim, Move) Initiative! The R.A.M. Initiative was developed by School of Recreation, Sport, and Exercise Sciences faculty in 2020 to encourage and enhance healthy lifestyles, mental and environmental wellness opportunities, and social comradeship amongst Shepherd University and the Shepherdstown community.

What Is R.A.M.?
R.A.M. is an acronym for Ready, Aim, Move and applicable to any behavioral, mental, or physical goal! We must embrace the readiness for change (Ready), the direction in which to proceed (Aim), and the desire to move towards the goal (Move)!
R.A.M. is a collaborative initiative incorporating wellness and education, promoting collaborative campus efforts, community and campus involvements, and healthier community and campus members. In our efforts, we hope to make Shepherd University a campus that embraces all aspects of wellness (mental, social, physical, emotional, social, and environmental) and lead the state in the battle of obesity and other chronic diseases.
