"The benefits package lets me know that the University of Louisville cares for and supports my health as a person with programs such as the Get Healthy Now Initiative and the Employee Assistance Program, and as an employee looking to grow professionally with Coaching Circles and the Mentor for Success Program."
"As someone who considers herself a lifelong learner, it has been wonderful to take advantage of the tuition remission benefit, and thanks to it, I am graduating with my master’s degree in Higher Education Administration this semester. The paid time off around end-of-year holidays is also a nice way to close out each year as a reward for our hard work.”
