Body Image Bazaar

The Body Image Bazaar is organized each February during Eating Disorders Awareness Week and grew out of displays or exhibitions that focused on the body.  The mission of the Bazaar is to education and help people on issues related to the body.  It is held in Larkins Hall, where hundreds of athletes and gym members pass through each day.  The Bazaar is staffed with researches, scholars, and counselors who are there to assist and talk to people as they pass through the exhibit. 

Activities at the Bazaar include writing notes and pasting them on a life-size Barbie and Ken.
