Benefits Fair Kicks Off Open Enrollment Period
Join the Division of Human Resources for the 2002 Benefits Fair Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Heffner Alumni House. The Benefits Fair gives faculty and staff the opportunity to meet and ask questions directly to the vendors who provide benefits. This year the fair will include a treasure hunt, complete with maps and a treasure chest.

The Benefits Fair marks the beginning of the Open Enrollment period, which is the only time during the year that employees can elect to enroll in or change benefits without a qualifying event.

Please note that if you elect to make changes to your benefits, the forms must be completed and returned to the Division of Human Resources no later than Nov. 27. "If you have questions about your benefits, the fair is a great time to get answers," said Curtis Powell, vice president for human resources. 11/11/02
