Housed in the College of Education, BOUNCE, which stands for Behavior Opportunities Uniting Nutrition, Coaching and Exercise, is a community outreach and research program focused on healthy living. Through partnerships with schools, clinics and community centers, BOUNCE provides traditionally underserved communities in Houston with numerous opportunities, including nutrition education workshops and afterschool exercise programs.
