A&P's Buckeye Wellness Innovator team and Diversity Council gathered in October for A&P's Well-Being Retreat. Healthy smoothies were offered thanks to TTM's Don Borton and his pedal power on the blender bike. OSU Health Plan Health Coach Jessica Hernandez provided a healthy food demo, with tasty protein-filled snacks shared with the team. The retreat wrapped up with a discussion about what wellness looks like and ways it can be incorporated into daily routines.
FOD Operations and A&P Buckeye Wellness Innovators teamed up with FOD Landscape Services to plog through campus in August. “Plogging" is a Swedish term for the simple act of picking up litter while you run, hike, or walk in your community. It started spreading to other countries around the world in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.
Innovators were provided with gloves, trash bags, litter grabbers and a smile. The effort was part of a YP4H plogging challenge that allowed teams of five to earn up to 2500 points for participation.
