This YP4H/Virgin Pulse Challenge is specific to CFAES (and our HR & OTDI partners), it grew out of our recent Wooster Staff Council 4 dubs weekly walking program, as we strive to provide opportunities to promote whole-self wellness for all Ohio State members. Create a team of 5, have some fun rivalry with your colleagues and earn 250 points for walking an average of 7000 steps per day! Challenge runs for just 4 weeks: July 1 to July 28.
