April Brown Bag Series:
Medical Benefits
The Staff Association Council hosted a Brown Bag event discussing Medical Benefits in late April at the William Pitt Union. Over 80 attendees were educated on the options of Medical Benefit plans available to staff and faculty. The 3.5% increase in costs relayed to Pitt employees came in the face of an 8% increase in costs to the University. The Staff Association Council would like to thank John Kozar, Vice Chancellor of Benefits, for leading the seminar.
