David Dyjack, DrPH, CIH, Dean of the School of Public Health at Loma Linda University, challenged all public health family members to walk more and live a more fit lifestyle.

201 of the School’s faculty, staff, and students pledged to take more steps. By taking on the challenge, each received a pedometer and access to a custom-made Web application to track their steps, their team’s total steps, and the entire School’s steps.

The 30-day challenge officially kicked off Monday, February 9, 2009.
