Open Enrollment for Benefits Ends Nov. 30

Earlier this year the UA announced changes to the insurance benefits. Human Resources is hosting a series of insurance presentations to allow faculty and staff the opportunity to hear about the changes, discuss anticipated changes, and to ask questions. The schedule for these sessions is:

    • https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/582213653
