Enroll by Friday for chance to win a FitBit Flex; life insurance issue resolved

The deadline to enroll in 2017 benefits is 6 p.m. EST Nov. 11, but Human Resources is encouraging faculty and staff to enroll early. Enrolling sooner rather than later will allow employees to avoid high traffic on the online enrollment system and other enrollment resources, resulting in faster service.
