LU On the Move – Wins Top 50 Most Active Companies
Lawrence University has been designated as one of the Top 50 most active companies in the Large Business category of the national On the Move Company Challenge. The On the Move challenge, developed by the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA), partners with organizations around the country to take a stand for more movement and improved cultures of wellbeing for employees. The challenge has been shown to cut sedentary behavior in half and create a groundswell of support for more physical activity during the workday. Eighty-four companies representing more than 85,000 employees participated in this 12-week online challenge spanning April, May and June of 2017.
The top three that earned more than 10,000 points were Pete Gilbert, Donna Matey and Jami Rogers.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the challenges and moved more during your day. Have a great summer.
