The Annual Benefits Enrollment period ends this Friday, Oct. 25 at 4:30 p.m. This is the only time you can make changes to certain benefits without having an eligible life event or qualifying employment change during the year. In addition, certain benefits you may be enrolled in require action each year. Employees should choose their 2020 benefits via Self Service (eBenefits) in MyUW.

A new website provides a single access point to campus international resources at UW–Madison. The website is designed to serve international students, faculty, staff, visitors, and campus units hosting those from abroad. The website highlights some of the most frequently used international resources and provides a brief description and link to each of the international units. Creation of the new website was a collaborative effort of all three international units—International Student Services, International Faculty and Staff Services, and the International Division—and was facilitated by the Office of Strategic Consulting. Explore the new website at internationalresources.wisc.edu.
