The Laker Thrive Series for Employees health and wellness initiative will continue this fall with a series of enriching activities aimed at promoting well-being and fostering community.
All activities are free to all employees and serve as a complement to the many wellness offerings the university provides students. Some events might require registration due to a limited number of spots available due to activity space.
All SUNY Oswego full-time and part-time employees are welcome – including adjunct faculty, Auxiliary Services and Research Foundation employees.
Offerings include group exercise classes, outdoor explorations, open recreation activities, lunch-and-learn opportunities, potentially life-saving trainings and more. Visit the Laker Thrive for Employees website for the latest lineup of events.
Approved by the President's Cabinet in July 2023, the Laker Thrive Series for Employees is planned by the Division of Student Affairs staff and Health Promotion and Wellness faculty, with support from Rice Creek Field Station and the Employee Assistance Program.
Incentives provided
The incentivized program offers awards for participation. Those engaging in at least three activities and who complete the associated Google form will earn a special SUNY Oswego T-shirt or a water bottle.
