Million-step Monday – Gold Shoe deadline extended

Since Friday was the last day of November — which created a quick turnaround for tallying and submitting monthly step totals — we’re extending the Gold and Silver Shoe step total submission deadline for one day.

Those wishing to compete for the Gold and Silver Shoe awards have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to tally their November step totals and send them to today@unmc.edu.

Sandy Latshaw of the School of Allied Health Professions won the Gold Shoe for October while Julie Carstens of the Munroe-Meyer Institute took home the Silver Shoe.

Check next week’s UNMC Today to see November’s winners.
