The Office of Employee Wellness & Wellbeing and the Office of College Recreation, in collaboration with your NOVA Walk Week Captains, invite all members of the NOVA Community to register their intent to participate in the Fall 2026 NOVA Walk Week. NOVA Walk Week is dedicated to encouraging movement and engagement for the entire NOVA community across all campuses and locations. It will take place from Monday, September 21 through Friday, September 25, 2026.
Calling all Nighthawks–Students, Employees, Alumni and Friends Network, and Retirees! We invite you to step outside, embrace the beauty of our campuses, and enjoy some fresh air during NOVA Walk Week. You can join an organized group walk, explore our mapped trails with a friend, or simply take a solo stroll to recharge. We also encourage you to bring this energy home to your neighborhoods. Getting active with family and friends is a great way to spread the wellness spirit beyond our campus grounds.
