UK HR Work-Life to host free parents resource fair
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 23, 2023) — University of Kentucky HR Work-Life is hosting a free parents resource fair for UK employees from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, in Ballroom C of the Gatton Student Center. Stop by and stay as long as your schedule allows.
“Parents and guardians are always looking for ways to educate, support and entertain their children,” said Azetta Beatty, HR Work-Life Benefits Manager. “Throughout a child’s life, they will need a variety of support and opportunities to grow and develop. We hope this in-person fair helps UK employees connect with a lot of helpful resources in one space.”
At this fair, UK employees will have an opportunity to connect with child-friendly resources for school-age children regarding:
- academic/mental health support
- after school programs
- camps (fall, spring, summer, no school)
- extracurricular activities
- family support
To register for the fair, visit the HR website.
We will be using the BBN APP for check-in again this year.
Also, employees are invited to check out details about each resource in the event website listing. Some of the resources are attending the in-person fair and others are only listed on the website. Please review the listing carefully before attending the in-person fair.
