Wellness walk
About 1,000 people stepped out Sept. 29 for the “Second Annual Walk Toward Wellness – Building Communities Through Walking and Wellness,” a 4,000-step, 30-minute walk around campus. Provost Linda Katehi and the Altgeld Chimes kicked off the walk, which began on the Quad. The event, created by the Culture of Wellness Committee last year, promotes health through walking and other activities. Campus Recreation also is sponsoring the “Walk-tober Pedometer Challenge” this month. Teams of five to 10 individuals must register by noon Oct. 11 and then will compete for awards by tallying their weekly steps. The four-week program is free.
