TIAA is offering a Financial Essentials Webinar

Jul 30, 2018 | HR Corner, Intercom

Members of the Optional Retirement Plan:
Market-proof your retirement

You’ve likely heard repeatedly throughout your career how important it is to save for retirement. However, as the day approaches, there are additional questions you’ll have to ask yourself. Am I overexposed to market losses? Will I outlive my money? Am I confident that I can retire on my terms?

In retirement—and the years leading up to it—protecting your savings becomes just as important as growing it. Join us to learn how to create your own personal pension* with TIAA Traditional, offered by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA).

Register today for our August 8 live webinar (Noon to 1 p.m. ET).

OUTDOOR YOGA

July 16, 2018 at 12 noon- Main Campus outside of Founders Hall

Outdoor Yoga with Instructor Stephanie Prall. This 20-minute yoga class will be appropriate for all levels of mastery. We encourage you to wear clothes that allow for bending and stretching; however, full athletic attire is not required. The intent is to provide everyone an opportunity to enjoy the summer weather and wake up your body.

Why try yoga? Workout fads come and go, but virtually no other exercise program is as enduring as yoga. It’s been around for more than 5,000 years. Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation. There are more than 100 different forms of yoga. Some are fast-paced and intense. Others are gentle and relaxing.

Founders Hall 110 will be our alternate location in the event of rain.
