This Year’s Theme: Every Part of You Matters

The 2026 Well-Being Fair embraces a whole-person approach to well-being and aligns with the University System of Georgia’s four pillars:

  • Your Mind
  • Your Health
  • Your Finances
  • Our Community

UGA is committed to supporting not only your professional success, but also your mental clarity, physical health, financial confidence, and sense of belonging.

“The Well-Being Fair provides faculty and staff with a valuable opportunity to connect with campus partners and explore resources that support their growth and overall well-being, aligned with the University System of Georgia’s four pillars of well-being.” — Dr. Juanita W. Hicks, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
