The Whole U: February Events

President Young sent out an email and video message to our campus community on January 6 describing some of the great things to expect from The Whole U.

UW has launched “The Whole U” and Kelsey Croft, Executive Assistant in the Health Sciences Administration Executive Director’s Office is one of the inaugural ambassadors. This exciting program is designed to promote programs and activities in the department and across campus to share ways to stay healthy, foster community, and promote the great benefits and services available to UW faculty and staff. This program’s focus is YOU, so be sure to check The Whole U’s website often for great discounts, events, and learning opportunities.

The Whole U has a lot to offer, from events to discounts to learning opportunities and more. They can help promote internal activities and also help you set up a social group based on your interests. Check out The Whole U website to explore all the great ways that The Whole U helps connect faculty and staff with resources around the UW.
