LiveWell MavWell Challenge
Q: What is LiveWell MavWell Challenge?
A: The LiveWell MavWell Challenge is a wellness initiative by Apartment & Residence Life and Campus Recreation to promote wellness ideals through the seven dimensions of wellness. Students participating in the challenge will get rewarded for healthy activities in each of these areas, as well as for going to LiveWell MavWell promoted events specifically aimed toward each dimension. Prizes will range from t-shirts and water bottles to an iPad mini, as well as the biggest incentive of all a well-balanced healthy lifestyle, just in time for finals!
Q: How do I participate in the Challenge?
A: Students will form teams of four and fill out the sign-up sheet here. If you do not have a team of four you can contact us and we will try and place you with a team. Each team will have a team captain that is responsible for gathering the point values of their team members and e-mailing the points results each week.
Q.: How does my team win prizes?
A: Teams will get points by attending programs listed on the weekly point sheet and participating in weekly wellness individual activities. Each program or activity will focus on at least one of the dimensions of wellness. Each prize given is based on the points teams earn for the week. For larger prizes, eligible team members will be placed in a raffle to win the prize once they reach the point threshold.
Q.: How do I know how my team is doing with the Challenge?
A: Weekly point totals for all the teams will be posted on www.uta.edu/mavwell. As well, the leading team each week will be featured on the LiveWell MavWell facebook page.
Q: How long does the Challenge last?
A: Twelve weeks, from the kickoff event on January 14th until the conclusion on April 5th
Q.: What if I didn’t join during Week 1, can I still participate?
A: Of course! You can sign up for the LiveWell MavWell Challenge at any time. Because there are prizes given at certain threshold point totals and because there are a variety of daily activities to do and programs to attend in order to gain points, there are many ways to be well & healthy no matter when you join the Challenge, as well as still compete for some great prizes.
