• 10/22: Walk & Talk with a Professor, meet at the RSF, 9:00-10:30 am.
  • Join us for a casual campus walk, conversation, and connection with UC Berkeley faculty as part of Exercise is Medicine-On Campus. We’ll meet at the front entrance of the Recreational Sports Facility (RSF), then head out on a brief, light-paced walk around campus. The route will remain on campus and loop back to the RSF entrance at the end of the event. This is a great opportunity to connect with students and faculty, get some movement, and talk with others who share an interest in Exercise is Medicine-On Campus. Participants are welcome to leave at any time that works for their schedule. As part of the event, we’ll also be participating in ACSM’s Walking Challenge! Together, we’ll track how much time we spend walking and the distance we cover during the event.
