created by our culinary students, and a video featuring several of

Thank you to faculty and staff who have contributed to the
Foundation through payroll deduction, and to our President's Circle
members.
Kudos
Dr. Jared Graber, West Campus Dean of Business, Behavioral
and Social Sciences, and Dr. Karen Borglum, West Campus Dean

Annual Meeting of the SACS Commission on Colleges in Atlanta. The
presentation titled "Learning Assessment and Enhancement - A
Documentation and Incentive System," provided an overview on the
planning, evaluation and documentation of learning assessment and
enhancement initiatives at the academic division level including
annual Division Action Plans as well as competitive projects
approved by the Instructional Affairs Committee (IAC).

Human Resource News
Please notify Human Resources when a student or part-time hourly
employee working for you resigns. If HR is not notified and doesn't
terminate their employment, the student or part-time hourly employee
will remain "active" in the Oracle HR/Payroll system until no pay
has been processed for them for 6 consecutive months.
New address or phone number? If you recently moved or have a new
address or phone number, you'll need to be sure Human Resources
knows about the change. A Change of Address form is available on the
college website or you can request one by calling ext. 8033. HR will
also accept an address/phone number change from an employee via
e-mail. Call HR to find out who to send the e-mail to and what other
information might be needed.
Attention supervisors! If you supervise work study students or
part-time hourly employees, please remind them to notify Human
Resources when they move or get a new phone number. This will
prevent pay checks, direct deposit stubs, W-2 forms, etc. from being
returned, undeliverable, by the post office.
Please contact Human Resources at ext. 8033 if you have any
questions.
