Save the date: Healthy Boiler Fair set for Oct. 4

Human Resources-Benefits announces a Healthy Boiler Fair is scheduled for Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The benefits fair, which takes place in the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms (North and South), is the first employee benefits fair to be held since 2019. 

“We are excited to be able to host a Healthy Boiler Fair for the Purdue community,” said Candace Shaffer, senior director of benefits in Human Resources. “The fair is a great avenue for us to showcase and highlight the many benefits, resources, wellness programs and more that reflect the university’s priority on overall health and wellness. Just as our benefits do, all vendors and programs at the fair will align with one or more of the five pillars of the Healthy Boiler Program: behavioral health, financial wellness, physical health, social wellness and work-life integration.”

Benefits-eligible employees are encouraged to attend to get a firsthand look at a variety of the many benefits available to them.

“With open enrollment for 2024 benefits just around the corner, the Healthy Boiler Fair comes at a time that we hope will be especially helpful and convenient for faculty and staff,” Shaffer added. “Our Healthy Boiler/Benefits tagline is ‘Your Benefits. Your Choices. Your Well-Being,’ and we believe strongly in that message. We hope the fair will be well attended and will help employees engage more with their comprehensive benefits package.” 

Invitations have been extended to several Purdue departments. Those who have not received an invitation but would like to participate in the Healthy Boiler Fair should contact Human Resources at benefitshr@purdue.edu.

More information on the event will be shared once details are finalized.

Note: Open enrollment for 2024 benefits takes place Oct. 24 through Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. ET.
