As about 200 university employees geared up for the walk through the arboretum, they listened to speakers including Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef, UCD employees and members of the Health Awareness Program's Wellness Committee. Vanderhoef addressed the crowd before participating in the walk himself. Exhaustion puts me in a better frame of mind. It does a lot for the university.
People are more likely to be healthy and in a good frame of mind.
The dance includes covering one's eyes, ears and mouth , as if out of frustration , and reaching out and up , as if for papers. Following the dancing and speeches, employees embarked on the walk. The program focuses on work site wellness and is geared toward spurring employee involvement in different forms of exercise and other ways of maintaining health while at work. A lot are over the lunch hour. The program has been in existence for a year or so.
