Princeton University’s health center will soon host a “Fat Positive Dinner” for students who are “fat identified” to discuss their experiences.

According to an online description for the February event, the dinner will be hosted by Health Promotion and Prevention Services (a division of the school’s University Health Services) in conjunction with the Women’s Center.

“This space is intended for fat identified people to share their experiences as a fat person."

“This space is intended for fat identified people to share their experiences as a fat person at Princeton in an accepting and supportive environment,” a newsletter put out by the Women’s Center states.

Additionally, participants will “discuss fat positive programming ideas for the spring semester,” with the event description noting that “dinner will be served.”

Meanwhile, the University Health Services website emphasizes the importance of “exercise and fitness” as an important part of a “healthy life.”

“Although Princeton students usually have very busy schedules, it is essential that you make time for exercise in order to lead a healthy life,” the website states.

Sonya Satinsky, director of Health Promotion and Prevention Services, told Campus Reform that the "goal of the event is to have a conversation to discuss potential future programming focused on body size and body image."

"At this point, we are unsure whether it will be a one-time or recurring event, as this will depend on students' interest," she added, noting that "there is not specific funding allocated for this particular initiative."
