The summer session of wellness offerings gets underway in July, and many classes still have openings. You are encouraged to register as soon as you can. Participating in a wellness class can help you reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve your overall health. And the Benefits Office subsidizes half the cost, so you're getting a 50 percent discounted rate along with the convenience of paying through payroll deduction.

The East Baltimore campus is offering Zumba and Yoga, while White Marsh has Muscle Toning and Conditioning and Yoga.
