Participants can *earn points through a variety of actions taken below each 3-month period in order to earn that period's $75 (taxable) reward in your paycheck:

• Annual Assessments*
• Staying Healthy
• Social Engagement
• Self-Care & Mindfulness
• Active Lifestyle
• Balanced Nutrition
• Money Management
• Quarterly Challenges*
• Ongoing Education

All points earned in a *single period must be recorded on the Empower Health website by the following dates below:

Wellness Year September 1, 2025 - August 31, 2026

• Deadline 1 September 1 - November 30, 2025
• Deadline 2 December 1 - February 28, 2026
• Deadline 3 March 1 - May 31, 2026
• Deadline 4 June 1 - August 31, 2026

*Wellness Program participants cannot add activities completed during a different period to the current period's point(s) total.

• For example, if a participant takes part in a Wellness Challenge during February (worth 50 points), they cannot enter the Wellness Challenge information during April, since April is part of a different period.

Please log all activities before the end of each quarter. No exceptions will be made.

Faculty and staff, it’s time to get moving! Join the 14th annual Go Move Challenge by logging your intentional, heart-pumping physical activity. Your minutes help determine which Jesuit institution is the most active. Awards will be given for the total minutes, the highest average minutes per participant, and the highest average minutes adjusted for university size.

How to Join the Challenge

• Visit www.GoMoveChallenge.org and register, even if you’ve participated before
  • Select “LOG IN / REGISTER” from the top menu
  • Under “REGISTER,” enter your university email and the required information, including your university name
  • In the “Division/College” field, choose your division or college (e.g., School of Law, School of Education, Student Life, Provost Office). If it’s not listed, select “Other” and type it in
  • Click “SUBMIT” to complete your registration
  • You’ll receive a confirmation email with your login email and password

How to Log Minutes

• Starting February 1, visit GoMoveChallenge.org
• Click the “LOG IN / REGISTER” button on the top menu bar
• In the “LOG IN” box, enter your email address and password
• In the “LOG MY WORKOUT” box, select the intensity of your workout and description and enter the number of minutes, and select a single date or date range for logging multiple days
• Click the “LOG IT” button when finished
• Users can delete minutes that were entered in error

How To Win
Once again, there will be awards for three different categories. All minutes are finalized as of 11:59 p.m. pst on February 28^th. The winning institutions will be announced in the weekly AJCU newsletters, the www.GoMoveChallenge.org website and through our social media sites.

• The university with the highest total number of minutes.
• The university with the highest average number of minutes per participant
• Shouts to participating institutions with the highest average minutes per participant, categorized by employee size: large (2000+), medium (1000-1999) or small (below 1000).

Get Social

• A picture is worth 1000 words. Encourage, engage and get motivated by seeing how our fellow Jesuit colleagues are moving this month, connect with us on Instagram and Facebook or use our tag #GoMoveChallenge.
• Do you have a story or photos to share for our last recap in next week's AJCU newsletter? We would love to hear from participants from all of our universities. Send them to skisylia@usfca.edu to include.                                                      

Rules and Tips

• Challenge runs from February 1 – 28. Minutes will not be accepted after the challenge ends.
• Get inspired and motivated by creating a team of 3 to 6 (including yourself) to compete against other teams at your university to see which one averages the most minutes!
• Open the mobile-friendly challenge website from your phone’s browser to enter minutes on the go!
• Read the challenge FAQ at GoMoveChallenge.org/FAQ

How to Create a Team

• Teams must include 3–6 members.
• If you create a team, you will automatically be designated as the team leader and count as one of the team members.
• Click on the “Teams” tab at the top of the site to begin.
• Only team leaders can edit team details. Participants may only belong to one team.
• When creating your team, you will be prompted to choose a team name—feel free to get creative!
