The USC WorkWell Center is pleased to welcome you to Mission: Possible! If creating new healthy habits sometimes seems impossible, Mission: Possible is here to help. Become a “secret agent” and celebrate USC’s Unifying Value of Well-being during this six-week, team-based wellness challenge running from Sept. 22 to Nov. 6, 2023.

To Participate

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to:

Create a team of four agents, from inside or outside your school or unit – Assign your team’s lead agent. The lead agent will register your team on the Mission: Possible portal and invite team mates to join the team. The lead agent will need each team member’s email or USC ID.

*If you don’t have a team of four, please register on the Mission: Possible portal and search for a team to join or contact WorkWell Mission Command and we will help match you with other program participants. You also have the option to create and lead your own team.

For in-depth instructions, view the Registration Guide.

Complete your weekly mission assignment – You will receive a weekly email with a video transmission from WorkWell Mission Command with your mission assignment (or check back here for weekly updates) along with “briefings” of tips and resources on how to successfully accomplish each mission.

Log your missions on the Mission: Possible portal, under the “My Missions” tab. Complete as many missions as you can. The more missions your team completes, the greater the reward (both in wellness and prizes to be announced later)!

Join the Mission: Possible celebration at the end of the challenge to connect and recognize teams.

For a more details about the challenge, watch our Mission: Possible recruitment video.
