Dear Rice Community,
March is Women's History Month, and Rice Human Resources partners have some exciting sessions planned for benefits-eligible employees. We are excited to see you at one or all of these events.
FIDELITY: Join in the conversation as Fidelity tackles the financial realities that impact women daily and shares steps we can each take – individually and collectively – to help ourselves and the next generation build a better financial future and help put a stop to the gender wealth gap.
Tuesday, March 14, 2023, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST Register now using this link

TIAA: Set up a meeting, and plan with confidence. Making decisions about your money can feel challenging, especially regarding retirement. But you don't have to go it alone – especially since your retirement plan includes access to TIAA's financial consultants.
To schedule time with a financial consultant, visit TIAA.org/schedulenow or call 800-732-8353, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 10:00 pm EST
AbleTo through Aetna: Sometimes life can be overwhelming, leading to worry, stress, and sadness. These are common feelings with significant life changes or chronic pain. But help is now just a phone call away. AbleTo through Aetna is personalized support when you need it.
Benefits-eligible employees enrolled in one of Rice's medical plans may receive virtual, personalized support to help them feel better with the AbleTo program. You'll learn to manage your emotions better and improve your health. And your mental and physical health can improve in as little as eight weeks. Plus, this program is already included in your Aetna membership.
