Dec. 1 is an important date for all full-time faculty and staff at MSU.

Complete open enrollment now

First, Dec. 1 is the deadline to complete open enrollment for your employee benefits. Open enrollment is the annual period during which you can elect, decline or make changes to your medical, dental, vision and cafeteria/flexible spending plans for the coming calendar year.

You can find more information about open enrollment, including instructions for how to complete open enrollment online or over the phone, on the open enrollment webpage.

Reduce your health insurance premiums

Dec. 1 is also the deadline to save up to $360 on your annual health insurance premiums.

This year’s wellness incentive includes the following vaccination combination:

  • COVID bivalent (or original series if not previously completed; or prior booster) vaccination qualifies for $15 per month discount.
  • Seasonal flu vaccination qualifies for $15 per month discount.

Both vaccinations must be completed in 2022 and prior to Dec. 1 to qualify.

Employees who did not complete their vaccination at Magers Health and Wellness Center must contact Magers to submit their vaccination information before Dec. 1 to qualify for the discount.

Recognizing MSU Way and United Way donors

I also wanted to take a moment to recognize the contributions by our university community as part of the United Way and Missouri State Way campaigns.

Through these campaigns, the university community raised $67,989.56 for the United Way and $405,199 for the Missouri State University Foundation.

I want to personally thank each of you who participated in the United Way campaign. Please join me in congratulating our employees who gave to the campaign at the Leadership Level.
