Using the Tuition Benefit for You and Your Family; December 4; noon-1 p.m.; free. The University provides tuition assistance to encourage faculty and staff and their families to advance their personal and professional development. Join this session to learn more about Penn’s tuition benefit and how you can use it for yourself, your dependent children, spouse or same-sex domestic partner. You’ll learn more about coverage, how to request the benefit using the online tuition management system and tax implications if you’re using the benefit for a graduate program. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and may get answers to questions you didn’t know you had. Whether you’re using the benefit now or are planning to use it in the future, this session will provide a good overview of the tuition benefits and policies.
Brown Bag Matinee: Delegating for Diehards; December 5; noon-1 p.m.; free. Master the art of delegating and learn why it’s often mishandled. This video will show you hidden traps that can undermine your efforts to delegate. It’ll also provide some basic steps to help you ease your workload.

Chair Yoga; December 4; noon-1 p.m.; free. Interested in trying yoga but don’t know where to start? Join us for our chair yoga series. You get the same benefits of a regular yoga workout (like increased strength, flexibility and balance) but don’t have to master complex poses. Chair yoga can even better your breathing and teach you how to relax your mind and improve your wellbeing.
