Faculty & Staff Wellness Updates
July is Safety Month
Safety is a foundation of wellness. When we feel physically and psychologically safe, we're better able to focus, connect and thrive. Join us this month as we explore safety with sessions like:
Webinar - Safety in Portage Parks
July 24, 1-2 p.m.
Webinar - Campus Safety
July 28, 11 a.m. - noon

Summer Travel Safety
For many of us, summer is the time to take a break and get away from it all. Get prepared before you leave, think about where you will be staying — a vacation rental, a hotel — and follow these steps from the American Red Cross to help you stay safe during your trip. Additionally, be sure to download the Red Cross Emergency App for weather alerts, safety tips and shelter locations. Learn all the ways to be prepared so that you can simply relax!
