WSU competes in nationwide outdoor challenge

WSU will be competing today through Oct. 13 against universities nationwide to see which community is the most active. In order to succeed we need your help; faculty, staff, family members and the community are all welcome to participate. Let’s show our Coug pride and get outdoors this fall!

To participate you will need to download the AORE Campus Challenge app, this is where you will log and track your outdoor activity.

Each outdoor activity you log will be worth a certain number of points. There are two ways to earn points through general activities or core activities. These activities include walking, hammocking or gardening for 30 minutes, or you can challenge yourself with activities like camping, fishing or even running a 5K.

Check out the AORE Campus Challenge website for more information!
