Welcome to the July edition of Your CUHR (Columbia University Human Resources) Connection, designed to provide a snapshot of what Human Resources offers you.
News
- Each Tuesday during the summer, ColumbiaDoctors Outreach will be at the Haven Plaza Farmers Market. On Tuesday, July 29, you can discover brain-healthy nutrition, memory-enhancing exercises, and stress-reduction techniques, then check out the seasonal produce available. Here’s the full schedule.
- In June, Facilities and Operations Human Resources (CUFO HR), in collaboration with Columbia University HR, led the second cohort of employees through a six-week leadership development program. Over the course of the program, each participant developed and presented a project idea to support efficiency and excellence in operations across CUFO. The Learning & Development website has more information on leadership programs for your area.
Your Benefits
- TIAA and Vanguard retirement planning specialists are available for one-on-one consultations throughout the year. Both vendors have available dates and times specific to Columbia University employees. You do not have to be enrolled in a Columbia University retirement savings plan to call a retirement planning specialist. If you’d like to make an appointment, visit the TIAA and Vanguard websites.
