EIM-OC participant Michigan State University co-hosts an annual Walking Challenge with ACSM to get themselves and other EIM-OC campuses moving. The institution that walks and moves by wheelchair the most in one eight-hour period (in-person and/or virtual) during the month of October is named the winner.
SU will participate in the Walking Challenge on Friday October 17 from 9-5pm (note: this was changed from 10/13 due to the weather forecast). To participate, you can attend one of the guided walks below, AND report to the Form below any additional walking you did during the day between 9-5pm.
Walks will be led around campus every half-an-hour with a different campus leader; join as many as you want and help us log the most miles walked! All walks meet in front of the BSC unless otherwise specified.
(In the event of rain we will do only reporting of walking using the Form below)
BTC credit availalble.
