Testimonials
"Synergy Group and Employee Connection Cart events have given me (and it seems others) the opportunity to connect more with the UAA community via their own interests; especially for newer employees."
"Wow! Not only was the presentation awesome--what a great way to network with coworkers and build connections. I was so impressed with how ideas for collaboration with different departments came from this. This is great for the synergy groups and your onboarding work in general"
"This was a great event! It was wonderful to talk to the people making campus so beautiful and to have something active-but-not-strenuous to do together."
"This wellness workshop couldn’t have come at a better time. Please continue to provide more information and opportunities on campus to learn about and promote the importance of movement and how we can get more of it in our day."
"I loved this! It was such a nice break from work. I feel more energized now and have some fantastic flowers to look at! Score!"
