Step It Up: Knights Turn the World Upside Down!
February 13th - April 2nd
What is Step it Up?
We invite you to participate in Health and Wellness Services "Step It Up" walking program. It is open to all SNC students, staff, and faculty. This semester we are partnering once again with Human Resources and also with the Study Abroad department to begin our Spring, 2012 walking program. Our 7 week "virtual" walking program will be "Step It Up: Knights Turn the World Upside Down." This fun and challenging virtual trek will feature seven study abroad locations south of the equator! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the study abroad program and some possible study locations.
We will also have a few new features this semester! You will be able to access any information about the places we are visiting during each month in SNC's Student Health 101 e-magazine. You can also access information about events and other items by visiting our Facebook page or following us on Twitter.
Another new feature is our weekly large group walks! Once a week, we will meet in a large group at a designated location to walk to different destinations around campus and De Pere. This semester's group walks will include destinations like the St. Norbert Abbey, and a Discover East De Pere walk!
Who can participate?
Each team consists of 5 members with one person designated as a captain. You can register your team online at www.snc@edu/health or by completing a form available at Health and Wellness Services. Teammates can be an old or new friend, roommate, faculty or staff member. Registration begins on January 31st and forms are accepted throughout the program.
What is our goal?
Our goal is similar to that of the national program America on the Move which encourages individuals to walk 10,000 steps most days. You can use this as your goal or our program allows you to set your own daily step goal.
