\n<\/TABLE>“Winter is a great time to explore the various indoor and outdoor activity options we have on campus,” said Jayme Nekuda, Ph.D., division director of benefits and worklife programs. “This initiative is designed to get people up and moving and also to show them there is more to do on campus than maybe they thought.” <\/p>\n

How it will work<\/B><\/p>\n

Employees will be given a menu of activities they can complete and will be charged with completing one activity per week. Those who do will receive a cool long-sleeve T-shirt<\/a> when the challenge concludes on April 14.<\/p>\n

Sites for the challenge will include the Center for Healthy Living, campus tunnel routes and stairwells and various other campus locations. <\/p>\n

Challenge activities<\/B><\/p>\n

Decathlon activities will be broken down into Easy, Moderate and Difficult categories. Employees can pick and choose among the three categories as they select their weekly activities.<\/p>\n

A sample of activities is below. <\/p>\n
