Employee Health and Wellness Week 2026
Building Belonging: Strengthening Social Wellbeing at Work
This year's event is centered on social connection. Feeling connected at work is associated with lower stress, better mental health, higher job satisfaction, and the ability to roll with the punches during times of change. This week is designed to honor the many different ways connection shows up in everyday work life.
Throughout the week, you will be provided with a variety of activities across campus, organized under four themes: Grow Together, Work Together, Play Together, and Create Together. Each theme reflects a different pathway to connection: learning and skill-building, collaboration and teamwork, movement and play, and creative or quiet engagement.
Whether you enjoy lively group energy, thoughtful conversation, steady collaboration, or quieter shared spaces, there is something here for you. You’re invited to drop in for a single activity, explore several throughout the week, or simply take a moment to be present alongside others.
Building belonging isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about creating space for different styles to feel welcome. We hope this week helps you feel more connected, supported, and grounded in our shared campus community

You’ll see duck icons on schedules, signs, and activities across campus, making it easy to choose events that align with your style, or explore something new if you’d like. The duck colors are simply a suggestion. There’s no right answer, no expectations, and no pressure to participate beyond what feels right. Please check the Brochure for both primary and secondary duck colors for each activity.
