WorkLife Programs unveils new courses

Registration for WorkLife Programs' fall programming is now available. Employees who are completing apples for Healthy Purdue or who are interested in learning useful work-life and wellness information are invited to sign up through the WorkLife Web site, www.purdue.edu/worklife.

Early registration is encouraged  because classes fill up quickly.

One of this fall's new purple apple offerings is a six-week e-mail program called Colorful Choices, aimed at encouraging participants to eat more produce through a greater awareness of colorful fruit and vegetable choices.

New health awareness presentations, which qualify for a red apple, also are available online.  To earn a red apple, participants must register for the presentation at the WorkLife Web site, view the presentation and complete a quiz.

Employees on the West Lafayette campus will soon receive a fall brochure from WorkLife Programs featuring these and many other popular offerings. The deadline to complete five apples is Nov. 7.

Campus wellness programs are available to answer questions about how to complete the apples. For more information:
