Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join this year’s Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday, Oct. 2.  The walk is part of the Healthiest State Initiative and its goal of making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation.

The walk will begin in the Olmsted Center breezeway at 12 p.m. and follow a path around Drake’s campus.     

We are again combining efforts with Sodexo’s Mindful Mile program.  Lucas Flaherty, Sodexo campus dietitian, will be on hand to provide handouts, infused water, and more.   

It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk a mile, so consider taking a few minutes away from work or studies to participate in this fun and healthy event. 

For more information, email Linda Feiden at linda.feiden@drake.edu.
