Workshops and Programs

At Syracuse University, we believe a thriving community starts with thriving people. The Wellness Initiative invests in you—our faculty and staff—through hands-on workshops, live virtual sessions and self-guided content and challenges designed to meet you wherever you are on your wellness journey. 

Share Gratitude Kits

Take a moment to recognize the people who make a difference in your work. Each Gratitude Kit has three sets, and each set is a token, a card and an envelope, so you can thank three colleagues. Write a personal note on the card, tuck the token inside as a small keepsake and seal it in the envelope for delivery. Saying thank you is a simple way to strengthen connection, lift morale and support well-being for the person receiving it and for you.

Kits will be sent via campus mail* and will arrive the week of Nov. 30 (or before, as able). *Remote employees, watch your personal mail.
