Imagine you are ready to change your moment. The trouble is that you can’t seem to get to the one thing that’s most important because you’re busy, tired, don’t know where to start or you doubt if you even have it in you. The problem isn’t you; the problem is the problem. This 45-minute hybrid presentation will lay down the foundation to take you from “here’s what I want to do” to “here’s what I did.” Join Bassam Tarazi's "Getting Things Done in a World That Doesn’t Want You To" talk on Wed., February 26. Advanced registration is recommended.

Drop-In Yoga will start it's Spring Schedule next Thursday February 6th! The yoga takes place every Thursday 10-11am in the Warner Hall Dance studio, south side of campus.

Following data from the compensation and benefits survey, the university has identified changes to three tuition remission and assistance benefit programs. These changes are in line with the values expressed by employees in the compensation and benefits survey. On the whole, faculty and staff rated healthcare coverage (including the Nonstop Wellness coverage that offsets deductible costs), the university’s 9% contribution to retirement accounts, and tuition remission for children of employees as high priorities. No changes to those top priorities have been proposed in the developing 2025-2026 budget.

As you gear up for Spring semester, please consider nominating your colleagues and community members who have gone the extra mile for 91���� University and our students.
