Wise & Well U announces new workshops

October 10, 2019

Wise & Well U is a program dedicated to faculty and staff well-being by promoting financial, personal, and physical wellness. The program offers a variety of workshops, activities, and tools to support overall well-being. We partner with other campus members, state agencies, and local organizations to cover a variety of topics. Through Wise & Well U, the Community Connect program invites local nonprofits to lead dialogues and build collaborative relationships with the University community. We also help promote the state’s voluntary wellness program, SmartHealth. Employees who participate in SmartHealth are given the opportunity to score points and qualify for a wellness incentive on their medical deductible.
