Events & Fitness Opportunities
A new version of the a healthy u faculty and staff wellness program will launch this fall, August 17.
This new version will include all of the old favorites like BodyWorks, StepUp and Lunch & Learn, as well as a few new additions like a Weight Loss Challenge and a series of Special Events. Faculty and staff can participate in programs and attend events to earn points to win prizes. Participants can also expect weekly updates, encouragement, and helpful hints and tips. For more information visit aumoodle.andrews.edu or email ahealthyu@andrews.edu.
As another new addition this year, we will be working within Moodle to make a healthy u easier to follow and access. Participants will be able to track their progress online, provide feedback of how we are doing, and look into the different events and programs offered.
a healthy u will run in 3 different "terms" over the course of the 2012-2013 year. Each term is roughly 4 months and offers a new start for participants. Throughout the course of a term, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in the different programs offered and earn points. At the end of a term, a winner is determined by number of points earned, if there are several people with the most points there will be a raffle for the prize. Prizes are then awarded. Points are then reset for the following term.
Instead of running a healthy u as a year-long program offering different events here and there, we are going to make this program comprehensive. This means that when you participate in one program you are participating in the program as a whole. The more programs you participate in, the greater the rewards. Because this program is incentive based, you get prizes based on your participation each term. Program points are outline below.
StepUp (25pts)
5 pts for registering; 5 pts for reaching Level One; 5 pts for reaching Level Two; and 10 pts for reaching Level 3
