Things to watch for in the near future-

In this informational session we will explore our relationship with exercise, discuss basic terminology, learn how to choose appropriate exercises for your health goals, and walk away with tips to put into action.

·         “Step It Up” Challenge (Oct. 25^th-Nov. 21^st) for MCC employees and students! This will be a fun activity to encourage people to be more physically active and to work together to reach our goals.

·         MCC Employee Wellness Program Survey- The Wellness Program has teamed up with the Institutional Research team to create and distribute a survey that will help provide you with programs, seminars, and activities that will best meet your needs.
