Brandeis Passport to Wellness

Healthy You and the Office of Human Resources is pleased to announce the Brandeis Passport to Wellness program. This program is designed to help you find your path to greater health and wellness.

We ask that participants attend at least 5 out of the 15 workshops offered during the academic year.  In doing so you will become eligible to win an Apple iPad.

The passport will be distributed at each workshop and/or you can stop by the Office of Human Resources to pick one up.  Bring the passport with you to each workshop to be stamped by a representative from the Office of Human Resources.  Once you have accumulated 5 stamps you will then receive a ticket and be entered into the drawing which will be held on May 1, 2012.

The winner will be contacted by the Office of Human Resources.
