Campus-Wide Walking Challenge

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in a campus-wide walking challenge from August 24-October 2. Participants will enroll, set goals, and track their daily steps.

Walking lowers the risk of heart disease, helps manage weight, and strengthens muscles. It can also reduce stress, clear the mind, and improve daily mood.

To support the challenge, an in-person launch will be held on Monday, August 24, in front of Blackburn Hall. Led by Howard University Wellness Champion Alisha McDougal and supported by the HR, Wellness, and Benefits team, participants will gather and walk together in a shady area around campus.

The in-person group walk will continue every Monday during the challenge. Please bring your walking shoes and water.
