Several new programs were offered in the Employee Wellness array in 2007. A three-session series on Stress Management was held on April 10, 17, and 24. The featured topics included Mindfulness, facilitated by Marty Loy, Ph.D., Simplicity and Life Balance with Jane Jones, Ph.D., and giving and receiving back and shoulder chair massage lead by Ann Cisewski, Certified massage Therapist.
Dr. Jasia Steinmetz was the featured speaker for a program on local, sustainable food options titled “Become A Locavore,” which was held on April 4 as a brown bag lunch session. Dr. Steinmetz addressed the economic, social, and environmental implications of the dairy food choices.
A variety of new group fitness classes were also held including Spin to Begin, Rear Attitude, Step, and Dynamic Definition. The classes were held in February and March in the Cardio Center as well as a six session yoga class taught by Maureen Houlihan which began March 29 and ran through May 10. This class was so popular that it was continued during the summer and will continue next year. Employee Wellness continues to offer the 10,000 Steps, Weight Watchers, Personal Training and the Wellness Role Model programs.
