Happy Halloween! Be safe and have fun with family and friends tonight and this weekend … and hold on through this wild wind!

Some news and notes …

  • Welcome to Emily Cassidy, our new Office Assistant 2 in Advancement, who started last Thursday. Emily will be part of the Finance & Advancement Services operation. Please stop by and meet the newest BAWAFAS in our Division!
  • A big thank you to everyone who is working on the upcoming Campaign Launch Party (Nov. 21). From building the lists to designing and stuffing the invitations through the actual event, it is a true team effort. Your support is very much appreciated. Dan and Kaci will be reaching out for anyone who can provide assistance the evening of the event. 
  • If you have not yet completed the Campus Climate survey, please take the 15 or so minutes to do so. Thank you in advance. 
  • The new polo distribution is continuing at SERC. Encourage any colleagues who have not picked theirs up to do so soon.
  • The Faculty/Staff Campaign continues. Please consider supporting a department, program, team, scholarship, etc. that is close to your heart. Check in with Donnie if you have any questions. 
  • As the calendar turns to November (turn your clocks back an hour on Saturday night!), just a reminder of the campus shutdown period over the holidays. Work with your supervisors on your personal plans between Dec. 22 and Jan. 2 and remember we will be doing five WFH days every 10-day pay period during the intersession break. Official notification will come from HR in the coming weeks. 
  • Noted below, we have selected Dec. 11 for our Divisional holiday party at the ROC Holiday Village at Manhattan Square Park. Can’t wait!
