1. Furthering the Surgeon General’s Call to Action

2. Indoor Tan-Free College Campuses New initiative: Indoor Tan-Free College Campuses Supports and celebrates colleges and universities that prohibit indoor tanning practices within their campus. This award will create opportunities to:  Follow through with two of the major goals of the Surgeon General’s Report - Goal 3: Promote Policies that Advance the National Goal of Preventing Skin Cancer and Goal 4: Reduce Harms from Indoor tanning;  Recognize colleges and universities that make skin cancer prevention in college-aged students a priority on campus; and  Demonstrate the continued commitment of the Office of the Surgeon General to skin cancer prevention within the United States.

3. Requirements – Colleges and universities will voluntarily need to demonstrate their commitment by adopting and implementing an indoor tanning-free policy on their campus. – The initiative will fall directly under Strategy 4C of the Call to Action to Prevent Skin cancer: “Support organizational policies that discourage indoor tanning by adolescents and young adults”. – Tan-free college campuses will thus serve as role models of institutions and communities that demonstrate a commitment to bringing the words of this Call to Action to life.
