UC Walks Event on Wednesday, May 21

The 5th annual UC Walks event will be held on Wednesday, May 21, 2014. This is a system-wide event in recognition of National Employee Health and Fitness Month, and all campuses are encouraged to get out and walk. Last year we had a combined total of 5,485 UC employees participate! Every year we aim to exceed the previous number. This short video highlights last year:
