This year's challenge is designed to help LWTech employees practice and learn healthy, wellness-based habits in a world transformed.
Participating is simple: Decide what you can do and commit to doing it. We’re here to help.
Check out what the Summer Employee Wellness Series looks like this year!
Here’s How to Sign-up
- Sign up to participate in a team or individually

Hey, No Buts! What?
But…I won’t be here! But…I’m not working Summer quarter! But…I won’t be on campus!
It’s okay! All of the items in the Wellness Program are things you can do on your own wherever you may be! All of the sessions planned will be via Zoom and most can be recorded.
Tracking Points
You will be placed in a Google sheet, which we will send your way, where all of your team members (or you as an individual) can place your own weekly score. The tracking of points is for you to follow this fun summer wellness program and help you stay accountable to yourself!
Win Prizes!
A huge shout of thanks to LWTech Foundation for generously supporting the Summer Wellness Challenge each year by sponsoring the active-participant award prizes! The prizes will be drawn the last day of the series via Zoom.
- Like last year, it’s not about being the highest scorers! It’s about being “active” in tracking your points. All active teams/individuals will be placed in the drawing:
- Team: One team will win a $50 gift card per participant in the team draw.
(Maximum 4 members to a team) - Individuals: Three individuals participating will be drawn for a $50 gift card each.
Register as a team or an individual today!
