The effort to enhance its reputation as a Health Promoting University and strengthen the bonds among the academic community, the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada (SPs UGM) held a lively “Fun Walk” event on Friday morning (17/5). The event was attended by all SPs UGM staff.
The Fun Walk activity started at 07.00 WIB in the courtyard of the SPs UGM Building. This Fun Walk was not just a casual walk but also an event to foster camaraderie among SPs UGM staff. Good physical health will support productivity in carrying out various academic and non-academic activities.
This Fun Walk route was passed by various campus facilities such as the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FKKMK UGM), UGM Spiritual Center, Kokelgam, and the Faculty of Biology. Participants were enthusiastic about enjoying the prepared route while savoring the fresh morning air and the lush campus scenery.
Finishing the 3-kilometers route, participants gathered again in the courtyard of the SPs UGM Building to enjoy a healthy breakfast provided by SPs UGM management, which boosted the participants’ spirits.
Besides aiming to maintain health, this Fun Walk is also part of UGM’s efforts to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program, particularly in terms of good health and well-being (SDG 3) and fostering solidarity within the campus community (SDG 17).
This Fun Walk event is expected to motivate the entire SPs UGM academic community to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle in their daily lives.
