Homecoming Movement Challenge

From Saturday, September 27 to Saturday, October 4, we invite all faculty and staff to help us walk the distance from Memorial Stadium to Spartan Stadium and back by collectively covering 1,440 miles! This isn’t a race, it’s a team effort. Whether you're a daily walker or just getting started, your steps count toward our shared goal.
