Faculty and staff are invited to join this year's Walking Challenge! When you participate in the five-week challenge and track 35,000 steps per week (or an average of 5,000 steps per day), you’re eligible for a weekly drawing. Other activities can also be converted into steps. Olin competes against the other edHEALTH institutions, and the school with the highest average steps wins an on-site team celebration. See the attached PDF for more information.
