Important Update regarding the Motivate Me Program

Motivate Me is the University’s Incentive program through Cigna. All full-time employees, not just those enrolled with Cigna, are eligible annually to earn gift cards for participating in well-being activities.

Incentives earned but not redeemed from prior years are still available to be converted to gift cards. Although any unredeemed funds for calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020 will no longer be available after February 28, 2023. It is important that you redeem your earned funds by February 28, 2023.

The link to redeem gift cards for all years will be temporarily removed from myCigna.com for the month of March. Funds earned from January 1, 2021 through present will remain available and able to redeem beginning April 2023.
