On October 9, 2008 at 1:00 p.m., UDM faculty and students will gather in the International Student Lounge to kick off the 6-week event of healthier living.As part of the event, pedometers will be given out to help track the number of steps each participator has taken. Prizes will be awarded to the most ambitious, over-achievers who reach and exceed their own goals.
