The first annual Faculty Wellness Fair will be held on August 29, 2023, from 4 pm to 7 pm in the Gould Auditorium at the J.Williard Marriott Library. This event, sponsored by the Office for Faculty and the Faculty Club, will highlight programs promoting all aspects of faculty wellness, including:
- Affinity groups
- Exercise and physical wellness opportunities
- Mental and emotional resources
- Campus recreation and clubs
- Campus leisure resources
“We are going to have groups from all over campus,” said Myra Washington, from the Office for Faculty. “RedMed will be there doing blood pressure and other health checks. We also will have representatives from areas like the Osher Center for Integrative Health, Red Butte Gardens, Employee Assistance Program, and Utah Presents.”
A crucial piece of wellness is being a part of a supportive and integrated community, and the organizers of the fair are hoping participants will find ways to connect with others on campus through the resources available. “We want to get faculty connecting face to face once again,” said Washington. “We also want faculty to know just how many opportunities there are for connection at the U.”
Tacos and non-alcoholic margaritas will be served at the event. You can RSVP here.
