Campanile
Near the Sesquicentennial Bell
UNI Employee Well-being hosts a campus walk for faculty and staff, every Tuesday and Friday, March through November. This walk is intended to take place over your lunch break. The walking route is one mile, or 30 minutes, whichever comes first. Meet us at the Campanile at noon, where the walk begins and ends.
To participate you must:
- Register every academic year
- Wear proper shoes for walking distances
- Bring a water bottle
- Dress accordingly for the weather
- e.g.: outerwear, sunscreen, sunglasses
- Take breaks in the shade when necessary
- Pay attention to the sidewalk and pick up your feet
When temperatures rise above 80 degrees, the walk will be indoors, but we'll still meet at the Campanile before heading inside. Walks will be canceled for inclement weather. Visit this webpage for walk updates due to weather.
