Beginning July 23, eligible full-time staff and faculty who have completed three consecutive months of service can take advantage of two new education benefit programs designed to help you grow professionally and personally.
“We’re excited to launch these new education benefit programs as part of our commitment to expanding access and opportunity for all employees,” said Sydney Savion, vice chancellor for people, culture, and belonging. “By investing in growth—both personal and professional—we’re not just supporting individual futures, we’re unlocking the collective potential of our entire university community.”
