Wellness Ambassador Mini Grant Spotlight

Steven Asercion
Supply Chain Management
"I think by making the activities fun, challenging, doable, and social, it helps build a less stressful environment that improves morale in the workplace. It’s a small contribution to the goal of the University of being healthy, but well worth the time and effort."

Staying Active During the Holidays
|
|
|
It’s that wonderful time of the year again: endless events, cooking, shopping, parties, traveling and freshly baked cookies. Our schedules become so busy that sometimes exercising becomes less of a priority, plus, it’s starting to get pretty cold in the morning, which makes it harder to get out of bed for a morning session.
|
|
|
|
Strategy and planning are key to maintain a regular exercise routine. Visit Staff and Faculty Health Well-being's Nutrition Corner for six tips to stay motivated and keep moving throughout the holidays.
