A season for gratitude

November 24, 2009

Each day we are fortunate to wake up and go to work for one of the largest, most-respected public universities in the country – filled with students who infuse this campus with their energy and optimism. And as our friends up north will soon be reminding us, you cannot beat the weather.

What a wonderful place to call “work”!

UF is grateful for you, too, and seeks to demonstrate that gratitude through the variety of benefits it offers its employees. Beyond its outstanding health and retirement plans, the university offers a range of programs to improve your life and well-being.

This year, as you make your New Year’s resolutions, keep in mind the health-related programs offered through Living Well, Healthy Gators 2010 and the Employee Assistance Program. Broaden your horizons by signing up for a training program, taking a college course through the Employee Education Program or by visiting the UF library.

I hope you will join me this holiday season in pausing for a moment of gratitude for the abundance that surrounds us.
