Healthy Boiler Fair — Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET;
The second annual Healthy Boiler Fair, which takes place in the Purdue Memorial Union Ballrooms (North and South) on the West Lafayette campus, is a great opportunity for benefits-eligible faculty and staff to learn more about their benefits as an employee. Just as Purdue’s 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. 

2025 open enrollment — Oct. 29 through Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. ET
Open enrollment, which occurs annually in the fall, offers benefits-eligible faculty and staff an opportunity to review Purdue’s extensive benefits offerings and select the ones that best suit them and their families, if applicable. The Benefits Enrollment website will offer 2025 benefits updates throughout the enrollment time frame. (Note: A new design and feel to the benefits website focusing on the five pillars of the Healthy Boiler Wellness Program is now available.) All benefits selections must be completed and submitted prior to 6 p.m. ET Nov. 12 to allow the system enough time to process the enrollment.

More information on each of these events will continue to be shared via Healthy Boiler newsletters, emails and Purdue Today articles.
