Play Altru's Pursuit of Wellness
Game Rules:
A game designed for all UND students to learn firsthand the correlation between wellness and academic success. Students will be encouraged to participate in a variety of existing campus activities, all of which connect to at least one of the 7 Dimensions.
Incentives will be placed throughout the game for encouraged participation among UND students. Winners of the prizes, including the winner of the Altru's Ultimate Challenge will be announced at the Wellness Expo at the UND Student Wellness Center on March 7 from 2-7pm.
At each activity, students will ASK for a Wristband of Wellness, referred to as a WOW, indicating that they fulfilled one of their 7 Dimensions (e.g. Red WOW = Physical; Yellow WOW= Intellectual; Green WOW = Environmental; Indigo WOW = Social; Purple WOW = Spiritual; Blue WOW = Occupational; Orange WOW = Emotional). Don't forget to ASK!
Check the game board activities closely, as some may require an RSVP. If an RSVP is required, that is the only way you can get your WOW for that activity.
- Students will have 7 weeks to attempt to receive all 7 WOW's.
- There will be several chances to earn a WOW from each of the 7 Dimensions, featuring an activity from a different dimension every day, of each week.
- Gameboards can be found under the Gameboard Tab below.
Game will be played from January 16th – March 5th. Students can complete the game at their own pace by picking what days and what activities they want to participate in.

Activity: Attend Fitness Class at the Wellness Center
Wednesday, January 11th at 6:45pm
The activity was to attend a group exercise class at the Wellness Center. I thought this would be a great opportunity to attend CardioKick class. I heard it was really hard, but you could get a tshirt if you went to the class 5 times – so here was my first. It was so tough! I have never been in a cardio class that had that intense of cardiovascular activity. We did moves from plyometrics to boxing – it was so intense. The running in a circle thing was torture. I met another girl in the class so she coached me through some of the moves. I’m so glad I went – I met a new friend, a new exercise class and I felt great afterwards. I’ve done the Insanity workout before, but this was just as intense. I think this class is a great stress reliever and I think the punching bag part can really help me unwind once a week. I will definitely be going back to this class!
