President Abel Chávez will host a one-mile walk on Oct. 28 at 9 a.m. starting in front of Sacred Heart Chapel in recognition of OLLU’s status as an Exercise is Medicine campus.
OLLU is the only local university and is one of only 145 universities and colleges around the world to be honored by Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) for its efforts to create a culture of wellness on campus. Exercise is Medicine is a community-impact initiative of the American College of Sports Medicine.
The university community as well as area elected officials are invited to take part in the President’s Walk. It is an effort to promote physical activity as an essential component of a healthy lifestyle and to raise awareness about the benefits of exercise.
