All-Hazards training

Mark your calendars for this mandatory training occurring in room 9208:

  • Tues. Oct 14 – 12 -1:30 p.m.
  • Tues Oct 21 – 9 -10:30 a.m.

The All-Hazards Training is an excellent overview of what faculty and staff should be prepared for in various emergency situations. The training is 90 minutes long.

This important training is mandatory for all faculty and staff.

Faculty members are not expected to attend trainings that occur outside of the contractual academic calendar. Associate faculty members who attend mandatory training and submit a completed time-sheet to the VPASA’s office will be paid for that time at the contractual rate for non-instructional work, $39 per hour.

There is nothing more important to this effort than a well-trained staff.  Preparation, training and readiness can make all the difference should the college ever be faced with a critical emergency.

4102 Student Computer Lab

deannHello SCC, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Deann Larsen and I am a new employee to the TSS Department as Student Lab Manager. I started October 8 so I am still getting my feet wet (so to speak) but I am here to help you 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. most days of the week.

The Student Lab – 4102  is open:

  • Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.
  • Fridays 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
  • Closed weekends however the library main floor is open noon-6 p.m. Sat & Sun.

The TSS department upgraded this lab over the summer with new Dell PC’s as well as a few iMac’s.  To log out of your account please click the Ctrl/Alt/Delete key’s and then click “sign out”.  You do not need to turn off the power to the computers!

I’d like to remind you that this lab is for everyone on campus and to be respectful of the rules and etiquette which makes it fair to everyone who visits.

If you have trouble printing, accessing your account, or just need some general help, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to get your situation resolved or give you the information you need.

Don’t forget, if you think you have left something valuable in the lab, please check with my “lost and found”. Jump drives I will set on my desk with a note of the date found. If it is yours please feel free to pick it up.   After a week it will go in my box.  Keys and cell phones are turned in to security as soon as we find them so always look there for those lost items.

Thanks,

Deann
