Southern College Health Association - SCHA

We are looking forward to gathering with colleagues from across the region next month at the 2026 Sunbelt Directors & Administrators Conference, in Charleston, SC!

This annual conference brings together student health and counseling leaders to share experiences, discuss emerging challenges, and exchange ideas that strengthen college health services and support student well-being.

We look forward to meaningful conversations, collaboration, and learning with peers dedicated to advancing the health of our campus communities. See you in Charleston!

Still reminiscing about an incredible week at ACHA in Denver! ✨🏔️ From insightful sessions and new ideas to meaningful connections and plenty of laughs, we are grateful for the learning, the memories, and the amazing college health community!

SCHA was proud to have a strong presence at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American College Health Association (ACHA) in Denver, Colorado last week.

Throughout the conference, our members engaged in meaningful discussions, attended educational sessions, presented, shared best practices, and connected with college health professionals from across the country, all with the goal of advancing the health and well-being of students on our campuses.

Thank you to ACHA for another inspiring conference filled with learning, collaboration, and innovation. We look forward to bringing new ideas and renewed energy back to our institutions and continuing to strengthen the future of college health together.

We’re proud to recognize this year’s Charles F. Bohmann Award recipients, who were also inducted as ACHA fellows during last night’s ACHA Awards Ceremony in Denver.
