Join the university-wide Virgin Pulse step challenge

Our university-wide step challenge is more than just a way to stay active—it’s a chance to connect with your colleagues and build stronger team bonds. Walking together, even virtually, encourages camaraderie and a shared commitment to wellness.  

By participating, you’ll not only boost your own well-being but also contribute to a more vibrant, connected workplace. Let’s move together, stay healthy and support each other every step of the way! 

About the Challenge: Eco-Friendly Cities Changing the World 

Caring for our planet used to mean things like recycling and carpooling. Now, countries all over the world are coming up with some seriously cool sustainable practices. On this adventure, you’ll see them up close. Shark sanctuaries in Micronesia, vertical gardens in an alpine city in France and even an entire city heated by underground springs. Fill up your reusable water bottles and bring sustenance—walking is definitely an eco-friendly way to see the world.
