What is Health Links?
Health Links is an incentive program that will challenge you to practice a variety of
healthy activities for 31 days.
When does Health Links begin?
Health Links begins on Monday, September 15th. Participants will have from September 15th
to October 15th to accumulate 93 “links”. The registration deadline is Sunday, September 14th.
How to register?
Click on the registration icon above to take you to the registration page. You will be
asked to submit a user ID and password as well as other demographic information. You may
want to use something easy to remember, such as your HawkID and password.
Registration is available online only.
How does it work?
The Health Links program includes eight categories. Students earn “links” by participating
in various activities within each category. Activities include anything from setting aside
20 minutes for a brisk walk around campus, to trying out a new relaxation technique, picking
up trash on your way to class, or attending an event on campus.
The goal is to complete 93 “links” during the 31-day program. Healthy activities are worth
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 links. No more than 5 links can be completed on any one day and participants
should average 3 links per day in order to reach the goal of completing all 93 links. Each
link may be counted only once. This ensures that participants try many different activities
throughout the 31 days.
Tracking Health Links
Click on the box located next to each activity link after performing that activity.
Click the “Save Health Links” button before leaving the site to submit all links.
Your links will not be saved unless you click this button. The program will keep
track of the accumulated links and the running total will be displayed at the top of
the page.
Health Links Prizes
Students who complete 93 links by Wednesday, October 15th will be eligible for a prize drawing.
Participants must log their links by Sunday, October 19th to be included in the prize drawing.

informational website links throughout the Healthy Activities List.
