Day at a Glance

Events and News 

It’s the last week before the break, and you know what I have been doing!!  Same thing as everyone else on campus- evaluations!  It’s been tough but it looks like I will get them all done before the 31^st. My meetings have been very fruitful and honest.  I appreciate the process we have begun and look forward to making improvements for the next round.  Thank you to those who have given feedback on the process.  I appreciate it! 

I did also actually do some Pro-D this week including participating in a new DEI in the Workplace module (offered by HR), Title IX (offered by Tricia Lovely to the Admin/Classified Supervisors group- and it was very well done!), as well as an Ethics training for administrators for ET. This week is busy but not as “hectic” as usual which is quite nice. 

I also want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in our holiday video and to Rob Berg for putting it all together. Enjoy! I think it is a lot of fun!  

I hope you all have great plans for the break. I am going to visit some family in Arizona for a few days including mom, dad, brother, niece, and nephew. Yes, Uncle Jack is coming to town (I think I am the “crazy uncle”). I am also seeing my oldest friend. We have known each other for about 40 years. It’s always great to catch up with her and her husband when I am there. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you return—I have really enjoyed working with you all this year. 

Be well and happy holidays! 

Cheers, 

Jack
