New benefit for WSU employees: Discounted YMCA membership New benefit for WSU employees: Discounted YMCA membership

WSU employees and their families will be eligible for discounted Y memberships effective Nov. 1, to all nine Wichita-area locations. The discounts are being made available because the university has entered into a corporate membership with the Y, like many other Wichita area employers. Details regarding how to sign up or transfer current memberships will be sent in the next several days.

Memberships will cost $16.87 per month for an individual employee or $29.07 per month for a family. Y membership enrollment will be coordinated with the annual state employee benefit enrollment period that begins Oct. 1 and ends Oct. 31.

WSU students recently gained access to Y memberships through student fees that will be used for the operating costs of a planned new campus wellness and recreation center. That center, expected in 2019, will be open to all Y members.
