Colgate Hello and the Resources for Improving Staff Experiences (RISE) BIPOC employee resource groups are co-leading a Walking Club at Colgate. 

We meet at the following times:

• First Thursdays of the month: 8 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
• Second, third (or other middle) Thursdays: 12:15 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.
• Last Thursdays: 4:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.

For the October walk, we will capture Colgate’s Fall Foliage: We will begin at Willow Path; head toward Little Hall; travel up Pearson stairs; head toward Frank Dining Hall; loop around Colgate University Cemetery (Chapel House Rd); and then follow the route in reverse back to Willow Path [approx. 30 min; see below].

Amari Simpson and Christian Vischi serve as your walking guides, and we look forward to you being able to join us! 

We will meet at the beginning of the Willow Path, at the back of the library. You can park your car and/or arrive at the Willow Path at the start of the meeting time.

Why Walk Breaks?

• Recharge Your Energy: A short walk can provide an instant energy boost, helping you stay productive and focused throughout the day.
• Mental Clarity: Stepping away from your desk and enjoying some fresh air can clear your mind and reduce stress.
• Social Connection: Walking with others is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, make new friends, and build a sense of community.
• Improved Health: Regular walks can contribute to better physical fitness and overall health.

A word from Dr. Larson: "We know that walking improves overall health, decreases chronic back pain, improves bone and brain health, improves energy, and it's fun! Bring a friend!"
