A three-week journey and photo contest for all

Cornell staff, faculty, students, and retirees are all invited to join the Cornell Summer Wellbeing Adventure. Enjoy all that summer has to offer and enter the health promoting campus photo contest that celebrates the themes of people, places, and planet. Sign me up!

Overview 

Receive a weekly email with on and off-campus activities, events, ideas, recipes, and more, for you to participate in. Design an adventure that works for you, regardless of your work/home location or your availability. All Cornell staff, faculty, students, and retirees are invited to join. Explore on your own or consider recruiting fellow colleagues and students to join you! Submit photos every week to be entered into weekly prize drawings, and to be featured on this page along with your peer participants.

Photo Contest

Submit photos of you enjoying your summertime adventures and/or wellbeing-related work activities. Photo entries that represent the health-promoting campus themes of people, places, and planet will be reviewed by a committee. Uploaded photos from all participants will be featured weekly on this page. As well, a diverse array of winning photos will be turned into banners that hang from select Ithaca campus light posts across campus this Fall. 

Photos must be submitted by Monday, August 6th to be considered for the contest. Photo specifications, criteria, and instructions on how to submit will be posted soon.
