Canisius Joins the Go Move Challenge

Jan 17, 2018

The Human Resources Department is pleased to announce that Canisius College is participating in the Go Move Challenge from February 1, 2018 to February 28, 2018.  This is the first year that Canisius will participate in the long-standing annual event exclusively offered to Jesuit institutions. Throughout February, faculty and staff record their minutes of movement to determine which Jesuit institution is the most active. Awards go to the university that tracks the most minutes, as well as the university which averages the most number of minutes per participant. Several important details about the challenge are listed below:
