    Come out this summer and take a hike with your colleagues! Meet other walkers/hikers.  They will take place in the woods around UConn Storrs campus, and will start at 12:15pm and end at 12:45pm.  You might even see some wildlife. Please dress appropriately, and bring a water bottle with you. Hiking boots recommended. Register at prodev.uconn.edu (NetID required) for any and all of the hikes. Steady rain cancels.
