WELLNESS Emory employees walk more than one million miles for Move More Challenge More than 5,400 Emory employees crossed the finish line of this year's Move More Challenge, walking more than one million miles and taking more than two billion total steps. TEACHING Chemistry students sing their studies, hoping for a good reaction As part of Bill Wuest's "Principles of Reactivity" course, chemistry students performed key lessons they learned over the course of the semester in a musical parody video assignment. Wuest has compared exam performance before and after the video assignment and found a strong correlation to improved scores. COMMUNITY Staff Fest 2018 marks 40 years of celebrating Emory employees Expect a 1970s vibe as Staff Fest, Emory's annual employee appreciation event, harkens back to its founding in 1978. Come out to the Quad on Friday to enjoy lunch, games, dancing, the Fun Run/Walk and the volleyball tournament.
