Homecoming is just around the corner, which means its time for the annual FHP Fun Run/Walk Challenge!  
 
Our new Dean, Dr. Alice Aiken, challenges each FHP School to show their Dal and School spirit by submitting the best team to the President’s Fun Run/Walk.

The Challenge details:

Each FHP School recruits a team to participate on race day – Saturday October 15th. Teams are evaluated based on a set of criteria. The best team wins $500 towards a School Social.
 
The President’s Fun Run Walk is a three-campus run, jog, walk or stroll for the whole family, followed by a post-run brunch food court and campus celebration.

The Challenge criteria:

  • Representatives from all members of your School community: students (at least one from each program), staff, faculty, Director (or Associate Director) and alumni,
  • Incorporation of a profession-related prop,
  • Visible expression of School and Dal spirit - this could take the form of t-shirts, Dal colours, costumes - the sky's the limit!
  • Contribution to our FHP twitter campaign: encourage your School community to follow @dal_fhp on twitter, and then tweet which School they are supporting using the hashtag #followDalFHP.

How does your team win?

It’s simple:
1.    Sign up for the race
2.    Join your School/College team.
3.    Recruit others and follow us on Twitter - @dal_fhp - then tweet letting us know what School you support with the hashtag #followDalFHP to help your team win. 
4.    Take part in the President’s Fun Run/Walk during Dal Homecoming.
 
Good luck!
