This event is for UI Employees (Faculty and Staff). Open Enrollment for University Benefits is occurring during this time which is a unique event just for employees. Additionally, to control lines and space we focus this event to employees. Student Wellness offers several smaller Health Expo events around campus each September that are uniquely geared to students. https://studentwellness.uiowa.edu/programs/events 

Our vendors at the event are volunteering their time away from their normal workday. They often do not have large staff to cover set-up, full day of tabling with little time for breaks, and tear-down. We want to prioritize the well-being of our event vendors and volunteers as well. At our last few in-person events, most of the foot-traffic was between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. 

The health and well-being fair aims to link UI employees with Iowa's on-campus resources that support their health and well-being. With a variety of departments and entities attending, the long list of vendors shows a focus on holistic well-being, ensuring there's something for everyone.

The Health and Well-Being Fair includes University of Iowa departments, programs, UI Health Care, and campus partners that provide well-being services and resources for employees and the university community. If you are interested in participating in the event, please contact liveWELL@uiowa.edu.
