Are you a faculty member approaching your first anniversary or a staff member approaching your second anniversary? You may wish to take a moment to review your current 403(b) contribution percentage and submit a new Salary Reduction Agreement Form to take advantage of the university match, if you are not already doing so.

TIAA, one of Illinois Tech’s 403(b) Retirement Plan vendors, has announced several Financial Essentials webinars running from during the month of May.

If you experience ongoing pain and discomfort you probably know your emotions often feel just as intense, and it’s easy to feel stuck. Why not take a few minutes during May, which is Mental Health Month, to focus on yourself and how you can heal?

Feeling blue? Distracted at work? Can't quite put your finger on what's wrong? It's not just you—mental health issues don't always present themselves in an extreme or obvious manner.

Next in our series of Financial Wellness days, made possible through Illinois Tech’s partnership with PNC Bank, Human Resources is pleased to offer one-on-one financial consultations. Individual sessions are available throughout the day on Tuesday, May 10, 2022.

The Spring 2022 End-of-term Course Evaluation Survey opened on Monday, April 18 and will remain open through Sunday, May 1. Instructors are asked to talk to their students about the survey and let them know that you value their feedback.

Staff volunteers are needed for the 2022 Ph.D. Hooding and Commencement Ceremonies, which will be held in Hermann Hall on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14, respectively.
