Students, faculty and staff are all invited to participate in a fun, one-mile walk around 91ֿ’s Kent Campus on Friday, Sept. 22, while learning about university wellness resources.
At the start of the walk, participants will receive a ticket for collecting stamps at several stops along the route. These locations will offer opportunities to engage with different departments and organizations on campus and talk about their wellness offerings.
After walking the route, participants can turn in their completed tickets for a chance at winning a Starbucks gift basket or Downtown Dining Dollars.
Sarah Korzan, registered dietitian and assistant director of University Culinary Services, is coordinating the event. “It’s a very nice way to get some fresh air and exercise while getting to know some of our wellness partners on campus,” she said. “There’s no need to register for the event, so you can just ask some co-workers to join you and come whenever you can between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m."
Participating partners include the 91ֿ of Well-Being, Center of Nutrition Outreach, the Office of Sustainability, Employee Wellness through the Division of Human Resources and DeWeese Health Center. Student organizations, Kent Interhall Council and the Student Dietetic Association will also be part of the event.
Korzan said that there will be free giveaways the beginning of the walk, including a can of Celsius fitness drink from university partner, Pepsi, food items and a selection of fun squirrel stickers.
