Recommend students for Student Government

Student Life is getting ready to hire our 2018-2019 team of ASG Officers and we need help finding strong potential candidates. Serving in Student Government is an excellent leadership opportunity for students and we want to spread the word and reach out to students across campus who might not otherwise hear about or apply for these positions.

If you know any students who you think could be great members of student government please take a moment to fill out this recommendation form by the end of the day on Friday 3/2/2018.

You can recommend as many students as you’d like and each student will be individually contacted and encouraged to apply.

Feel free to share this form with any other employees who might want to recommend students, and thank you for your help.

Workplace safety survey – please complete by Friday, February 23

Please take a few minutes to complete a brief safety survey by the end of the day this Friday, February 23, with questions about workplace safety.

To complete the survey, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018_SafetySurvey. The survey is anonymous, easy-to-use, and short. Results will be collected by the Department of Enterprise Services and returned in summary form to the College.

This effort is aimed at helping to enhance our culture of worker safety. Survey information will assist College staff to identify gaps and and plan safety initiatives to enhance employee workplace safety.

Thank you for your participation.

Upcoming Microsoft Outlook and Office Groups change

How does this affect me?
In mid-March 2018, the Outlook Groups app will be removed from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Microsoft Store. Current app users will still be able to use it between mid-March and May 1, 2018. The Outlook Groups app will then stop functioning for all users on May 1, 2018. Anyone who attempts to open it will be greeted with a message directing them to download the Outlook mobile app. Groups functionality is not affected in Outlook on the web, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2016 for Mac, or any other Office application.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?
Users will be informed about the app’s retirement through in-app notifications.
