HSPH WORKPLACE ENGAGEMENT AND ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE
Do you need an excuse to leave your desk and get outside during your lunch break this summer? If so, then the WEEC Summer Excursion program is for you. Come and join your colleagues each Wednesday from June 13 to August 29 for an activity that will focus on exercise, education, fun destinations, or other midday urban activities. The excursions are a great way to exercise, relieve stress, and meet new people. A list of excursions is below-Enjoy summer!
All excursion groups will meet at the steps in front of the Kresge Building at 12:30 p.m. and depart at 12:35 p.m. Excursions last one hour and may be cancelled in the event of rain. Excursion leaders are the point of contact for questions about their outings, such as rain delays. RSVPs are not required but are encouraged as they will help excursion leaders plan.
Please note: Participants are responsible for paying for their own food purchased during an excursion and/or any entrance fees required by sites that charge admission. All HSPH community members are welcome to attend.
