         ISU WellBeing: Friday Walk and Talk  |  *Live sessions have ended until early Spring 2022*

While our Walk and Talks have "officially" ended until Spring 2022, we still encourage everyone to get out and walk as weather permits! For more information and resources for walking on campus, click here. As we know, winter weather in Iowa can be unpredictable so if we have an unseasonably warm day and anyone feels like a group walk, send out a Campus Connection note in Adventure2 and see if your colleagues are up for an impromptu walk around campus! You can also check out our newest program, Strolls for Well-Being at ISU, for other ideas on combining walking and mindfulness.
