What is the Open Enrollment and Wellness Fair?

The Open Enrollment and Wellness Fair is sponsored by the Benefits department in the Division of Human Resources. Kent State’s annual fair gives employees the opportunity to meet personally with members of the benefits team and with the vendors that provide health insurance and other benefits to the university.

The third Open Enrollment and Wellness Fair takes place on Thursday, Sept. 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kent State Student Center Ballroom.

Faculty and staff will be able to meet with representatives from the university’s medical, dental, vision, insurance and other benefits-related vendors for 2012. Employees are encouraged to come to the fair to gather all the information they will need to make their decisions for Open Enrollment, which will run from Oct. 9-21. View the list of vendors.

The event will also feature healthy cooking demonstrations, live fitness demos featuring Zumba, aerobics and line dancing, and strength training tips from Intercollegiate Athletics.

The fair will run in conjunction with a Kent Campus flu clinic for faculty, staff and their eligible dependents (age six and older). The clinic will be held from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the ballroom. Registration is required for the flu shots; registration and other information is available at www.kent.edu/hr/benefits/oefair.cfm.
