Ready to start earning points? You will receive an email with your scorecard link every Monday for that week. That scorecard will be due on the following Sunday at 11:59pm. If you turn in your scorecard on time, you earn an extra 10 points (40 points if your whole team turns it in on time)! Scorecard links will be live a couple days after they are due, so it is still possible to turn them in late.
Scorecards are personal (the link we send you is YOUR link only) and savable (record as you go), and when you finish you will receive instant feedback on how you did that week. Also, your scorecard is mobile-friendly, so you can input information on the go! Check out a sample scorecard here:
Events and Challenges
Challenges happen weekly and even daily. They can range from taking the stairs instead of the elevator each day to giving back to your community each week. Challenges will change from week to week focusing on the dimension of wellness for that week. Challenges allow YOU to get creative about staying healthy holistically and help you determine what works for you.
In addition to sending out the events and challenges for the upcoming week, we have a calendar before each month starts to help you plan which events you will attend. This will also help your team coordinate attending events together!
Each week of the Anne Carragher Wellness Challenge will focus on a different dimension:
Week 1 (1/12): Goal Setting
Week 2 (1/19): Physical Wellness
Week 3 (1/26): Emotional Wellness
Week 4 (2/2): Spiritual Wellness
Week 5 (2/9): Intellectual Wellness
Week 6 (2/16): Social Wellness
We encourage you to focus your weekly goals in alignment with the themes.

Albers Executive Speaker Series- Ron Armstrong
Sponsored by the dean's office, the Albers Executive Speaker Series is offered twice a quarter in the fall, winter, and spring. Executives from around the Puget Sound region are invited to speak on a topic of their choice and then respond to questions from a selected panel and the audience. These events are an excellent opportunity for students across the Seattle University campus to learn from the leaders in our region.
Racial Justice Lecture and Panel: “Fortune’s Bones: The Manumission Requiem”
This Racial Justice Lecture by Stephen Newby is part of the Seattle Fortune's Bones Project Community Events. Newby is associate professor of music, director of composition and director of the Center for Worship at Seattle Pacific University. He will explore particular theological implications and their workings as found in Ysaye Barnwell's "Fortune's Bones." Newby will discuss how the music and text instantiates notions of how we deal with freedom, the afterlife, the pursuit of cultural heritage and race relations. The panel will relate this lecture to historical and contemporary times.
