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 Monday October 12 from 9-5pm. 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 available.

Exercise doesn't have to mean the gym. In fact, the focus with physical activity should be enjoyment and having FUN again!
This year, we're taking it back to childhood with some nostalgic games and activities we all remember from being a kid.
Take a break and join us for some recess this October!
