Approximately 500 staff and faculty members learned about the benefits that Cornell offers to them at the 2009 Benefair, held Nov. 11 in G10 Biotech. Staff from Benefit Services and other Cornell offices, and representatives from the vendors with whom Cornell contracts for benefit programs were on hand to answer questions and provide information about the services available. Reminder: The open enrollment period for endowed faculty and staff (health, dental and Select Benefits) is only a few workdays away -- Nov. 30. Submit your enrollments today.
