This week, we’ve been focusing on an important topic: vaping and its harmful effects. Studies have shown that vaping is not just a harmless habit—it can lead to serious mental health issues, lung cancer, brain damage, and heart problems. These are risks no one should take.

We want to take a moment today to talk about something important: vaping and its impact on your health, particularly your heart. Many students may not realize the serious effects that vaping can have on the cardiovascular system. Vaping can lead to increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and can even contribute to long-term heart disease. Studies have shown that the chemicals in vape products can damage blood vessels and make it harder for your heart to function properly. This is especially concerning for young people whose hearts are still developing.   The Knights Health Center will be closed on Monday, January 20th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.    The Kalamazoo United Alpine Ski Team had a strong first event of the 2025 season with five top ten finishes across the four events.
