How to participate
The liveWELL Campus Wellness Scavenger Hunt is for everyone! Only University of Iowa faculty and staff in 50 percent or greater regular positions are eligible to earn liveWELL points, but you’re encouraged to invite family, friends, or coworkers to join you on your adventures and learning.
- In team meetings or huddles, "visit" one or more of the destinations that are a part of the Campus Wellness Scavenger Hunt. You can view and discuss the space or ask for a volunteer to do a 'report out' on the space to learn more about its history or significance.
- Schedule a walk to one or a few of the destinations with co-workers; be sure everyone in the work group is included. Arrange transportation for those who cannot walk to the space. Agree to Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime someone who is not on campus.
- Invite team members to share their own favorite spaces or creative endeavors - in person or virtually!
