    Experience ֱ:

    The Experience ֱ Initiatives showcase different places across campus, allowing employees to learn about ֱ in a new setting. This is a chance to provide employees with a tour and/or educational experience to better connect them to the ֱ Campus. Part of our work in Employee Wellness Services is to create opportunities to staff that highlight the four priority focus areas from the campus wellbeing framework. The Experience ֱ initiative will hopefully be a way to highlight places, while also promoting belonging and social connection.
