Maricopa Moves Attracted Employees from Across the District
An intimidating mixture of cool temperatures, rain and hail did not keep people away from the official Maricopa Community Colleges recognition event for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Walking Works online incentive program in support of health and wellness. Maricopa Community Colleges Chancellor, Dr. Rufus Glasper, Phoenix College Acting President, Dr. Anna Solley and District 4 Councilman, Tom Simplot kicked off the event by welcoming guests as they gathered in Hoy Field. Despite the weather, District employees were determined to complete a one-mile walk around the campus, listen to wellness advice, receive body fat and blood pressure checks, as well as enjoy a rejuvenating massage. Additionally, it was a magical moment when a rainbow appeared just as the one-mile walkers completed their journey.
