UR Walks
Want to hit your 10,000 steps AND have a conversation with UR Senior Management? Then we have just what you need. Introducing UR Walks! UR Walks is designed to give UR colleagues a chance to get a breath of fresh air in various locations in Michiana while walking with members of the UR Senior Management team. Each week, we will plan a 2-4 mile walk at various locations in the Michiana area which will be led by Lou Nanni or one of our AVP leaders. In the event of inclement weather, we may be able to offer an indoor walk, such as at the Loftus, JACC, or Compton Ice Arena. Walking paces should allow for comfortable conversation while still getting a nice workout. Masks are required, along with proper social distancing practices. Weekly sign ups will be posted in souNDoff and the UR intranet.
Our first UR Walk will be this coming Friday, January 15, at 2:45pm with VP Lou Nanni. Please sign up here. This will be a 2.4 mile walk on campus, which will start at the Grotto and end at the Main Building. Happy walking!
