17c��ҳ��

17c��ҳ�� employees have been moving more, sitting less and feeling better! The university competed against 84 employers and 78,075 participants across the country in the Wellness Council of America’s On The Move Challenge, a 12-week (April 4–June 26) national corporate fitness competition promoting more movement throughout the workday. 

Each week 17c��ҳ��’s 1,148 registered participants had the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of physical activity, assess their progress, share successes and goals with others, boost peers for bonus points and, of course, move!

At the end of the challenge, 17c��ҳ��’s team ranked 29 of 56 companies in its category. Employees on all 17c��ҳ�� campuses worked together to contribute to the team’s national ranking, including the On the Move group at 17c��ҳ�� at Ashtabula (see photo). 

Says Teresa Bates, On the Move coordinator for 17c��ҳ�� Ashtabula: “It was great to participate in a corporate challenge that gave us the opportunity to both compete and build comradery.”

After the summer issue of 17c��ҳ�� Magazine went to press, we learned that 17c��ҳ�� earned a Top 50 Most Active Employers Honor for our participation in the On The Move Challenge.
