2009 Health and Wellness Fair
Next week, The University of Rochester is making their employees’ health a priority.
On September 22, 23 and 24, the U of R Human Resources Benefits Office invites U of R employees to take a break from their busy schedules and learn how to get fit, eat more healthfully and reduce their stress at the 2009 Health and Wellness Fair.
Conference and Events has been assisting to make sure the fair will be a success and an opportunity for employees to educate themselves and learn how to improve their health.
It’s been an eye-opener assisting HR with their fair; the U of R offers a wide-variety of programs and information aimed at keeping their employees healthy – some we didn’t even know about! Everything from yoga classes, assistance quitting smoking, mapped out walking paths and weight management support is available to employees.
Information at the fair will be provided from vendors such as Aetna, Excellus, WELL-U, URMC Fitness and Wellness Center, the American Heart Association, the Eye Institute and the City of Rochester Fire Department, to name a few (for a full list of vendors, please visit the WELL-U website).
Raffle prizes, giveaways and free biometric screenings (for employees, spouses and domestic partners covered by the University Health Care plans) are just a few things to expect at this year’s fair.
The fair will be held in two different locations around the University.

The Biodiesel Bus' Maiden Voyage
Before we get too far into the new academic year, I did want to mention some of the great events that took place at the end of last academic year. The Conference and Events Office assisted with the Biodiesel Bus’ Maiden Voyage that took place on Wednesday, April 22, 2009.
A group of University of Rochester undergraduates converted excess fryer oil from Campus Dining Services into biodiesel to fuel shuttle buses. Following remarks from those involved with the project, faculty, students and staff boarded the Biodiesel bus for it’s maiden voyage around campus, with a stop at the biodiesel lab for a tour of its facility.
