Stop smoking session considered
CWRU's human resources department is evaluating the idea of working
with Qual Choice to offer a smoking cessation program on campus.
A minimum of 10 people would be needed to begin the program,
which consists of eight one-hour sessions, most likely to be offered
over lunch. The cost for employees would be about $45-$47.
Human resources is considering incentives, like returning all
or part of the cost, for those who complete the program.
Interested employees can contact Tina Jurcisin at tmj.
Weight group begins session
Weight Watchers will begin another campus session today. Meetings
are at 11:30 a.m. every Thursday in Thwing Center. The cost is
$138 for the 14-week program. For details, contact Stephanie at
ext. 0358 or sxp85.
