The EAD Planning Team are excited to announced a virtual opportunity coming to all employees during EAD Week (September 14 - 18, 2026) - the Utah360 Virtual Challenge! This is a perfect way to celebrate EAD for virtual, out-of-state/country employees, those who can't make it to the in-person event or really just any employee looking for online way to connect!
How to Play
On Monday, September 14, the Utah360 EAD home page will open for all employees! This website can be accessed both on mobile and via web browser. In addition to hosting important information about the in-person event (location, map, etc.), challenge participants will be able to access the Online Activities page (or by clicking on the "Forms" tab), where a series of challenges will be posted. Challenges include sharing recipes, writing poetry, answering riddles, sharing photos and more! Uploading a photo of a decorated party hat from the Celebration Station and checking in via QR code at sponsor booths during the in-person event also count toward your 30 challenges!
Be Entered for a Chance to Win!
Any Utah360 participant who completes at least 30 challenges by end of day on September 18 will be eligible for our raffle to win a signed helmet by Utes football coach, Morgan Scalley!
