Take care of your health and earn money.
The University’s Well ’Canes Incentive Program offers a myriad of opportunities to earn up to $300. First, take an annual health assessment to earn 250 points, then add more points by tracking your physical activity, participating in the Dolphins Challenge Cancer event, or by attending health and wellness webinars. There are nearly 40 incentive opportunities available to help you earn that cash.
Get the most out of your retirement plan.
Whether you are planning to retire in five, 10, or 25 years, it is important to plan early.
