Wellness & Candidates

Hi Everyone,

A few days ago we recieved a letter from the Staff Council Office with information to share with our units:

"At our April 7th Meeting, Staff Council agreed to work with Wellness Ambassadors to
present a letter and petition to the Administration addressing the potential
restructuring and reorganization of the Wellness Program if Phase II reductions must be carried out. The major concern was the possible loss of on campus, employee focused
exercise programs held during the lunch hour."

The letter was sent to members of the Administration on Friday April 17th with the petition. A copy is posted on the Staff Council webpage under the "Recent Updates" column.

That column also has the link to the President's Office website for the Interim Provost and Senior Vice President search. The promised CV's of the candidates are finally posted so you can get an idea of their experience and viewpoints.

The deadline (noon today) has passed for me to forward any of your questions for this group of candidates to the Staff Council Office, but if someone still has some input they feel is important, I'll certainly still try to get it in. Tough or honest questions are certainly acceptable, and we're expected to respect your privacy: unless the staff member directly asks to have their name included, I send only the questions themselves. This is an astonishing chance to have some input on this selection process--let's make the most of it that we can!

Well, the flowers are finally daring to show and we're looking at some suprisingly warm temperatures!

Enjoy the lovely weather this afternoon,


Joanne
