Take the 'Healthy U Challenge'

F&B's Healthy U Challenge pits you against your coworkers, friends and family in a little healthy competition. The challenge is designed for all levels, and everyone involved can learn to be healthier, stronger, and more energetic.

The goal of the challenge is to encourage employees, as well as their friends and families, to live healthier, more active lives. Everyone loves to compete, and the challenge can be a great way to start living healthy or reinvigorate old habits.

Participants can choose from two tracks: a novice track for beginners and an experienced track for those currently on a wellness program or those who exercise regularly.

Challenge Begins Sept 20, 2009.

A message from Al Horvath,
Senior Vice President for Finance & Business/Treasurer


Welcome to Finance & Business—a service organization that supports thousands of University students, faculty, and staff through the administration of numerous Penn State resources.

F&B is made up of 10 units that offer services for the University and the public. Our many responsibilities are defined and guided by our strategic plan. The plan helps us reinforce our values and vision as an organization. It also identifies seven key initiatives that focus on areas that we feel deserve extra attention and effort.

F&B is always changing and evolving, but our number one asset remains the same—employees. With 2,800 full-time F&B employees, F&B boasts one of the strongest and most successful workforces in higher education and it is something we are proud of.

I encourage you to explore our site. It's a comprehensive look at what we do and all that we accomplish here at Penn State.

Sincerely,
Al Horvath
Senior Vice President for Finance & Business/Treasurer
