September On A Roll

Hi Everyone,

How did it get this busy so early in the semester?

The latest full Council meeting was held September 1st; the summary can be found on the Staff Council Agendas page. Our guests Jon Porter and Annie Stevens spoke about preparations for the H1N1 Flu at UVM. More information on that topic is available at UVM's Emergency Management website. Porter and Stevens asked that all questions and suggestions be sent to pandemicresponse@uvm.edu.

Also, the Community Medical School's October lecture will be an information session titled "The H1N1 Virus: Understanding Pandemic Influenza". Date and Location: Tuesday October 20th from 6-7:00 PM, Carpenter Auditorium in the Given building. CMS is always free and open to the public; please register in advance by calling 847-2886 or online at CMS Fall 2009 Registration.


The guest speaker at the next full council meeting (Tuesday October 6th) will be President Fogel, to "address the University’s current fiscal status and expectations for FY11". Council members have been asked to gather questions for President Fogel from their units to send to the Staff Council Office in advance of this meeting. You can give the questions to me, or any Staff Council member, or send them directly to the Staff Council Office. Please do contribute your thoughts--there are a lot of ongoing and new issues that might benefit from some open communication and discussion.

Here's hoping the new semester continues to find everyone well and able to enjoy the better-late-than-never beautiful sunny weather!

Have a good week,

Joanne
