Some Upcoming Events

I wanted to update you on some events the Conference and Events Office will be working on over the next couple of weeks:

The 4th annual Simon School Convocation will be held on Thursday, September 23 at 4:30 p.m. in the University of Rochester’s Interfaith Chapel. Convocation is the official kickoff to the academic year at the Simon School of Business. Remarks will be given by Chairman Emeritus G. Robert Witmer, University President Joel Seligman, Simon School of Business Dean Mark Zupan, and Sarah Pare, Simon School Class of 2011 and President of the Graduate Business Council. Joseph Abrams ’74, co-founder of MySpace and a member of the Simon School National Council and Executive Advisory Committee, will give the Convocation Address. Simon School faculty, staff, and students are invited to a reception in the Eisenberg Rotunda in Schlegel Hall immediately following the Convocation ceremony.

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.
