Employee Wellness Events for February

February 1, 2018

The Employee Wellness Program offers a variety of monthly wellness courses for faculty and staff.

Events for February include:

  • Sixth Annual Go Move Challenge registration is available online. Every minute of movement counts as faculty and staff compete to determine which Jesuit university is the most active. This year, 23 Jesuit Universities are competing to see who can get the most movement during the month of February. An activity calendar highlighting free events happening at Marquette during this challenge to help you move more is available online. The first 250 people to register will receive an MU Go Move sweat towel. There is no limit to the number of minutes you can accumulate. The university with the highest total number of minutes wins. The challenge begins today, Thursday, Feb. 1.
