UC Walks for Wellness on June 16 

Wrapping up Staff Appreciation Week, the 8th annual UC Walks: Cal Walks at Work Day is scheduled for Friday, June 16. Supervisors can show their appreciation and boost morale by encouraging attendance as a team, joining your team on the walk, and making it fun with some team props! Group walks begin at 12:10 pm from four campus locations to converge for the Celebration Event at Memorial Glade where participants receive a free UC Walks t-shirt (courtesy of UC’s medical and behavioral health plans), enjoy light refreshments, and join in our signature flash mob.  Be Well at Work-Wellness Program coordinates UC Walks, which kicks off the Summer Walking Challenge, and programs to support faculty and staff to lead healthier lives.

See the UC Walks webpage for the promotional video, a flyer to spread the word, and registration.
