Kent State Weight Watchers Group – For Employees, Family Members and Students: Join Today!

In addition to full- and part-time employees, Weight Watchers at Work is now open to spouses, dependents and students. Participants can choose from one of two discounted weight-loss programs:

  1. A monthly pass that gives faculty, staff and students a trial period without the lengthy commitment. Participants have the option of "at-work" or local community meetings.
  2. The online tailored program allows for participation at your own pace.

The At-Work program meets every Wednesday at noon in the Kent Student Center, Room 303, unless otherwise noted. These sessions run continually with no end date. However, a minimum of 20 members must be enrolled for each class session, and we must have a minimum of eight members present for each meeting (even if just to weigh in) in order to maintain the meeting location at Kent State University.

If you are thinking of joining Weight Watchers at Work and wish to try a meeting, there is no obligation to join. Simply attend a meeting in Kent Student Center, Room 303 on Wednesday at noon. Your group leader will assist with the registration process or you can follow the directions at www.kent.edu/hr/benefits/weight-watchers-work.

At Kent State, we want to honor the celebration of our Native American and Indigenous culture by developing a calendar encompassing all the university events that are relevant to Native American Heritage Month. The Native American Heritage Month Planning Committee is welcoming university divisions, departments and student organizations to begin submitting their programming, activities and events to the University Events Calendar to be featured on the Native American Heritage Month Website.

Open Enrollment is from Oct. 16, through Nov. 3. Each year in the fall, benefits-eligible employees may select and make changes to their health coverage plans based on their needs and the needs of their family. Outside a qualifying life event, this will be the only window during which such changes may be made. Click to learn more, and to see how to access the Open Enrollment Portal.
