OHIO Wins National Wellness Challenge

Thanks to the hard work of Ohio University Wellness Champions, WellWorks and other key leaders throughout the University, OHIO has been crowned the winner of the 2020 Wellness Challenge, hosted by the Building Healthy Academic Communities.

The University submitted a video and abstract, highlighting the Healthy Breaks Campaign and the positive outcomes of the program.

The Challenge is an annual competition aimed at encouraging institutions to host faculty, staff or student wellness programs or activities while utilizing innovative strategies for engagement. The program must promote one or more of the key dimensions of wellbeing: physical, mental, financial, environmental and/or social.

Ohio University's Healthy Breaks Campaign involved faculty, staff and some students while promoting all aspects of the above dimensions of wellbeing. The Healthy Breaks Campaign will continue, with a focus on a website that encourages employees to utilize their break time in healthy, productive ways. Watch the full video submission on YouTube!
