Put your health first while enjoying a friendly competition between the Office of Administration and Planning (A&P) and the Office of Student Life (SL). The Winter Wellness YP4H Step Challenge runs from January 13 to February 7! Please note: Due to transition timing, OTDI staff will not be able to participate in this step challenge. All are encouraged to keep an eye out for wellness engagement opportunities throughout 2025. 

Sharing kindness is "always on." The university-wide celebration of kindness and sharing our Buckeye Love runs February 10-14, 2025 and continues throughout the year. A&P departments are encouraged to share kindness and their Buckeye Love in unique and meaningful ways.

Like last year, A&P departments can order Sheryl’s cookies and printed materials to help spread the love. Workday tags and fiscal contact information are required. All orders should be coordinated first with area managers / supervisors.

The Office of Administration and Planning (A&P) Buckeye Wellness Innovator team continues to highlight one of the ten dimensions of wellness as previously shared on the dimensions of wellness calendar.

Although the days are getting shorter and temperatures are beginning to drop, wellness remains a focus for Buckeye Wellness Innovators (BWI’s) within the Office of Administration and Planning (A&P). 

Team members from Ohio State's Department of Public Safety attended the university's Be Kind Food packing event in September. Alongside other Buckeyes, volunteers packed more than 350,000 meals for delivery to locations in Adams, Brown, Franklin, Highland, Hamilton and Montgomery counties. Participants enjoyed sharing their #BuckeyeLove in this high-energy environment through these acts of kindness. Studies have shown that acts of kindness have wellness benefits for all involved.

In July, Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM) Buckeye Wellness Innovator (BWI) Christy Miller coordinated with Buckeye Paws to host a visit with TTM staff. The certified therapy dog-handler teams coordinate with departments across the university to bring therapy dogs to campus. Visits with the teams are said to help improve mood and decrease stress.

Buckeye Paws visits may be requested and scheduled by emailing BuckeyePaws@osumc.edu. Additional information is available online.
