Flower Fund

The flower fund is employee funded and administered by the Human Resources Office. This fund enables the University to send an expression of congratulations, encouragement or sympathy during personal events of employees and retirees. The employee’s or retiree’s department is responsible for notifying Human Resources of these occurrences. A small contribution is annually solicited for this fund.
