Employee Wellness Events for October

October 2, 2017

The Employee Wellness Program offers a variety of monthly wellness courses for faculty and staff.

Events for October include:

An ambassador will work to encourage healthy lifestyle choices at work, identify environmental supports to influence and enhance co-workers’ healthy lifestyles, create peer support networks and develop department specific challenges, if desired. The ambassador team is looking for individuals who are enthusiastic and passionate about wellness, that will lead by example, be the healthy difference, and provide support within their department. More information is available online.
