Let’s Travel with Francis Xavier!

Register today for the Mission in Motion Challenge

Get ready to lace up your sneakers, pull out your rakes, or go take a hike! Registration is open for the 2017 Mission in Motion Challenge. Rally your colleagues and friends on campus to create a team of up to six people. All teammates will combine their steps and travel with Frances Xavier, one of the founders of the Jesuits! You’ll pass stopping points along the way to learn about Xavier.

The challenge runs from October 2 - 29. Every step counts: steps on your walks at lunch, after work or on weekends, steps while you work out, or mow the lawn. You’ll be able to log your steps each week on the website, sync your activity tracker, or convert activities like cycling, exercise classes, and more. You will see a running tally of each team’s progress. The first 200 participants receive this very cool MIM hat (available in HR)! There are also a limited number of pedometers and MIM t-shirts and water bottles.

Once you have a team set, register online at If you've participated in the past, you'll need to create a new username and password. Contact Jenn Coode at if you want to be placed on a team. Registration runs today – October 6.

Mark your calendars for the closing ceremony on November 9 from 4-5 pm to celebrate and give out awards, prizes, and raffle off a few activity trackers for just attending the event.
