Prioritizing Employee Wellness and Development

Faculty and Staff Convocation offered nearly two dozen sessions, and all employees chose the two topics that appealed most to them. From financial wellness and savings to a cooking session, yoga lesson, and preventing workplace burnout, there was something for everyone. For those who wished they could have attended more than two sessions, you will want to keep reading. We compiled the presentation materials from all sessions and put them below in one easy location.
