Work/Life Walking Challenge Kick-Off Event

You do NOT need to attend the kick-off event to
participate in the 3-week walking challenge.

Dr. David Marrero will get us fired up for the walking challenge at the kick-off event on Thursday, May 1st from 12:05-12:55 in the NIFS auditorium (white building with red stripe just south of Natatorium).  Dr. Marrero is enthusiastic and funny and will share his blow-you-away research knowledge in regard to how a walking program can help us prevent disease and live healthier lives. 

All IUPUI staff, students and faculty who register and attend the kick-off will receive a pedometer and a 14-day NIFS pass.  Visit www.hra.iupui.edu/signup to register or get details.  If you need detailed directions on how to register, select the appropriate item below:

 

* If you want to register, and have NOT set up a user profile in the SignUp system:
Go to www.hra.iupui.edu/signup, then click just below the SignUp HR logo where it says, “Click here to login” (upper right).  When the next screen appears, go to the bottom menu, select “How to Register” and follow the instructions that appear.  Once you’ve set up your profile, refer to directions below for signing up for the session.  Please direct any inquiries regarding registration to Lynnell Lindle at 274-8932 or hratrng@iupui.edu.

* If you want to register and already have a profile in the SignUp system: 
Go to www.hra.iupui.edu/signup, then click just below the SignUp HR logo where it says, “Click here to login.”  Go to the menu on the left and scroll down to “Work/Life.”  The menu of Work/Life courses will appear on the right.  Click on the Walking Challenge Kick-Off session.  When the description appears in the box below, click on the tab that says “Sections and Registration.”  At the next screen click on “Enroll Now,” enter your user name which is your entire e-mail address (e.g., yourusername@iupui.edu), then enter the password you used when you created your profile and click on “Log In.”  At next screen, click “Checkout.”  When you get the next screen, since this series has no cost, just click on “Next.”  Although you will receive an e-mail confirmation, you can also click on “Student Record” on the screen that comes up after you hit the “Next” button and, when your student record comes up, click on “Printable Version,” at upper right.  The e-mail confirmation that you automatically get looks like gibberish at the beginning, but if you scroll down it does give you a confirmation number.  It does not, however, tell you the title of the workshop or the date, so you might want to write that on and put it in your tickle file.  Please direct registration inquiries to Lynnell Lindle at 274-8932 or hratrng@iupui.edu.

If, at any time, you want to check your course history or the courses you’re registered for, go to www.hra.iupui.edu/signup, then click just below the SignUp HR logo where it says, “Click here to login.”  At next screen, click on the “My Account” tab at middle right, then click on “Jump to Profile” link.  Type your entire username (i.e., yourusername@iupui.edu) and the password you used to set up your profile to log into the system.  To print the course registration screen, go to upper right and click on “Printable Version.”

Concerns about Extended Lunch Hour

If you are concerned that you can't walk to the session, take the 50-minute class and then walk back to your office in an hour and are in a department where this might be a concern, consider asking your direct supervisor if you can do a trade-off - agree to come in a few minutes early or stay a few extra minutes later to make up for the extra minutes that you might use at lunch time.  If coverage of your area is required, see if you can line up a coworker to handle that in your absence.
