Time to Get Ready to Walk: Join NOVA Walk Week, April 17 thru 21

March 16, 2023 / Get Well

Fall 2023’s NOVA Walk Week was a wonderful success. Now it’s time for the Spring NOVA Walk Week!  Join your colleagues. Encourage your students. Take some time to get active. Embrace the beauty of our campuses. Walk one of the mapped trails and/or just take a stroll around your campus or the DMV! 

What do you need to do? Glad you asked.

  • Register your intention to participate in NOVA Walk Week (Monday, April 17 through Friday, April 21st). Upon registering, you will receive additional guidance. 
  • Plan to participate in NOVA Walk Week events on your campus. Your Campus Wellness Champion will serve as your NOVA Walk Week Push Pals. They will provide support and encouragement; some will even lead campus walks. 
  • Encourage others (colleagues, students, family and/or friends) to walk and register.
  • Plan to help build our Celebrations Walls. Take a peek at the NOVA Walk Week Celebration Wall and the NOVA Moving Outdoors Celebration Wall to see some of the outdoor movement activities enjoyed during the fall 2022 semester.  Looking forward to the Spring 2023 contributions.
