Dear UM Family,

I want to welcome you to the first of three Employee Wellness Days for UM employees. If you haven't yet signed up, space is still available for many of today's offerings.

Visit the Employee Wellness Day webpage for a list of LinkedIn Learning sessions on the topic of well-being, the link to sign up for a firepit session and a full list of events taking place today.

Also on the webpage are the current offerings for March 16 and April 2 - the next two UM Employee Wellness Days. As a reminder, UM Employee Wellness Day events are University-sponsored activities for the benefit of our employees, so the use of any type of leave is not required to participate.

As we each take a moment today to focus on our personal wellness and connect with fellow UM employees - whether through one of today's virtual offerings or in-person at a firepit or walking around the Oval - I encourage you to consider nominating a deserving colleague for a Week of Excellence Employee Award. The deadline for all nominations is 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 9.

Thank you for your hard work and extra efforts every day on behalf of our UM students and your fellow employees.

Seth
