Eighth Annual AJCU Go Move Challenge: February 1-29, 2020
Every minute of movement counts in the 8th annual Go Move Challenge (add link to the attached flyer) as faculty and staff compete to determine which Jesuit institution is the most active! Throughout February, faculty and staff record their minutes of movement. Movement is defined as any intentional exercise that causes a least a moderate increase in breathing or heart rate. The Jesuit institution that accumulates the most minutes by the end of February wins!
