Employee Olympics 2023: 207 Dragons, 4 Sports and a Whole Lot of Fun

It was all fun and games at Drexel University's 2023 Employee Olympics, and the faculty and professional staff who competed in games, participated in a walking challenge, and enjoyed snacks while hanging out with colleagues and one of Drexel's therapy dogs.

Everyone who signed up for this year's annual event, which was held June 21, also received a free Employee Olympics T-shirt and received 25 points to be used as part of Drexel's A Healthier U wellness incentive program.
