Wellness and work safety are addressed in several areas, including ergonomic assessments and desk positioning. Wellness programming is emphasized, including our Wellness points program and the suite of choices available through Recreational Sports Outdoor Programs, which encourage staff/faculty to get active and enjoy the outdoors around our campus.
