A garden outside of the TTM building started by Transit Operations Supervisor and Buckeye Wellness Innovator Christina Miller, is encouraging healthy eating, while making fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible.
“I thought this would be a fun way to get fresh produce for people in my building. I also figured it would be a good way for people who want to help care for the garden to get outside, even if for a few minutes. It has been proven that movement, sunlight and fresh air all contribute to a better mood,” said Miller.
Join Facilities Operations and Development's Alex Cramer for an optional mid-week meditation opportunity on Wednesdays from noon to 12:15 p.m., starting on November 16, 2022 and continuing through January 4, 2023. The guided meditations will focus on breath work and physical awareness.

A&P's Buckeye Wellness Innovator team and Diversity Council gathered in October for A&P's Well-Being Retreat. Healthy smoothies were offered thanks to TTM's Don Borton and his pedal power on the blender bike. OSU Health Plan Health Coach Jessica Hernandez provided a healthy food demo, with tasty protein-filled snacks shared with the team. The retreat wrapped up with a discussion about what wellness looks like and ways it can be incorporated into daily routines.
FOD Operations and A&P Buckeye Wellness Innovators teamed up with FOD Landscape Services to plog through campus in August. “Plogging" is a Swedish term for the simple act of picking up litter while you run, hike, or walk in your community. It started spreading to other countries around the world in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.
Innovators were provided with gloves, trash bags, litter grabbers and a smile. The effort was part of a YP4H plogging challenge that allowed teams of five to earn up to 2500 points for participation.
