Employee Wellness is pleased to partner with Recreation and Wellness Services to bring you a fun movement event! Join us May 22 on the DeWeese Health Center walking track for an Open Stroll or Poker Stroll. How does a poker stroll work, you ask? Stroll five times around the track, and receive a playing card for each lap. After the fifth lap, participants will turn in the cards, and the winning hand will receive a swag bag! We will play as long as prizes last.
