The Send-a-Thanks platform was developed for employees to be able to send a special thank you, or kudos, to one of their colleagues across campus.  Employees who receive a send-a-thanks are entered into a monthly drawing for either a bookstore gift card or a coffee mug courtesy of Einstein's.

More than exercise therapy, with digital programs that combine gentle exercise with 1-on-1 support to reduce your pain and help you move with confidence. This program is available at no cost to eligible members.

The Donald Young Center exterior entrance near the pool is now CLOSED for renovation. Project demolition began on July 22 and will be followed by renovation/remodel through October 8, 2024. Phase I of the project is expected to be completed by October 22, 2024.

The contractor placed caution fencing and a roll-off dumpster on the southeast side of the DYC pool entrance. We request that you please access the DYC building through the front entrance or north entrance of the building. 

Please contact Facilities Services if you have any questions at 605-642-6244.
