Save the date: Healthy Boiler Fair set for October 2

Human Resources – Benefits will have its second annual Healthy Boiler Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 2 in the Purdue Memorial Union Ballrooms (North and South). The fair is a great opportunity for benefits-eligible faculty and staff to learn more about their benefits as a Purdue employee. 

“We are again excited to host the Healthy Boiler Fair for the Purdue community,” said Candace Shaffer, associate vice president of benefits and payroll 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 Wellness 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 available benefits.        

“Open enrollment for 2025 benefits will be here soon, which positions the Healthy Boiler Fair at a time that we hope will be especially helpful and convenient for faculty and staff,” Shaffer said. “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 again this year 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.

Open enrollment for 2025 benefits takes place Oct. 29 through 6 p.m. ET Nov. 12.
