Abstract	Reducing class size was considered an important element in a revised health course at Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania). However, reducing class size to approximately 15 students per class would require 38 sections, more than the health faculty could handle. To recruit additional instructors, the course was marketed to faculty and administrators as supportive of and complementary to the rigorous academic expectations of the college. This was accomplished by addressing issues (i.e., relationships, chemical health, sexual victimization, diversity, eating disorders, etc.) recognized as negatively impacting on all aspects of students' lives, including their academic success. Recruitment of course instructors, instructor training, and classroom instruction are discussed. Recommendations are also made for ways in which junior and senior high school teachers might recruit individuals from the community to work with small groups within a larger class. (ND)
