As a long-time volunteer with ANAD and someone who has personally experienced the challenges of eating disorders, I am passionate about bringing the ANAD School Ambassador Program to Cornell.In alignment with ANAD’s mission and core values, Cornell ASAP (Awareness, Support, and Prevention) will foster an open, inclusive community that promotes self-care, body acceptance, and overall wellbeing. We believe in the power of connection, compassion, and long-term community relationships as key elements of healing and awareness. Our group will collaborate closely with ANAD to ensure that all communication, programming, and educational materials use appropriate and recovery-supportive language. While we are an awareness-based organization and not a direct peer support group, we are committed to connecting any student who reaches out with body image or eating concerns to professional on-campus resources or to ANAD’s national peer support network. Through education, empathy, and advocacy, Cornell ASAP aims to create a campus culture that normalizes conversations about eating disorders and encourages help-seeking without stigma. It's important to recognize that Cornell currently has no student group dedicated to raising awareness and this gap leaves many students without a visible, supportive space to learn about prevention, recovery, and self-compassion. By establishing a chapter of ANAD’s School Ambassador Program at Cornell, we can create a community centered on education, awareness, and connection. The Cornell Body Positive Club has not been active for a few years, leaving a gap in the community.
