We are pleased to share the news about changes to the program formerly known as the Auxiliary Services Wellness Challenge.

To better support the hundreds of staff working across campus in auxiliary service and support roles with resources for personal and professional development, career growth, and overall well-being, we are rebranding the Wellness Challenge as The Auxiliary Services HUB. This new program builds on the physical and financial wellness initiatives of the previous challenge, evolving into a year-long effort centered on community building and individual development. (But don’t worry, there will still be fun prizes!)

In addition to sharing wellness resources, we’re introducing new opportunities such as networking events, professional development workshops, activities that can help us to decompress, and an employee scholarship program aimed at assisting professional staff with career development. Year one will focus on laying a strong foundation, with additional programming—such as mentorship opportunities—planned for year two.

Here’s a preview of what’s to come:

• Bi-annual gatherings, replacing the single spring breakfast
• Auxiliary Newsletter with resources and important updates on Auxiliary and Campus news
• Auxiliary Book Club
• Community-building events
• Networking opportunities
• Auxiliary-wide employee recognition program
• Employee scholarship program

We are excited to see this program take shape and look forward to your participation. If you're interested in learning more or getting involved, we welcome your willingness, and opportunities will be communicated soon!

The Auxiliary Services HUB Staff Scholarship is designed to support full-time employees in their professional growth and development. It provides funding for participation in public conferences, continued education courses, and certification programs that enhance job-related skills. However, it cannot be used for tuition toward degree programs.

At Auxiliary Services, we believe that investing in our employees strengthens our entire organization. Providing opportunities for professional development fosters innovation, enhances job performance, and builds a more skilled and engaged workforce.

This scholarship ensures employees have access to learning experiences that support both their personal career growth and the success of Auxiliary Services. If the scholarship amount does not fully cover the cost of a course or conference, upper leadership will collaborate with your department to explore additional funding options. Scholarships are limited and awarded on a fiscal-year basis.

Eligibility

• Must be a full-time employee of Auxiliary Services.
• Scholarship can be used for:
  • Public conferences/travel
  • Education Classes
  • Certifications
• Scholarship cannot be used for tuition toward degree programs.
