- Marquette Wellness has introduced a new Wellness Initiative Fund grant program for departments or areas on campus to enhance employee well-being. The goal is to change the workplace culture to support healthy behaviors that will not only have a lasting impact on employee well-being, but also to help build a campus community that supports health, positivity and fun. Marquette Wellness may award up to $30,000 for FY 2019. Creative and long-term solutions to support wellness in departments and across campus are encouraged. More information can be found online under grant guidelines. The application deadline is 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 28, 2018. If funds are available after the deadline, grant applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis throughout 2018. Only one application per department/area will be accepted. All initial award recipients will be notified by the end of March. Contact Kristin Kipp with questions.
