October Skies

Hi Everyone,

The next full Staff Council meeting is tomorrow October 6th, at 12:05pm in the Davis Center (Livak Ballroom). This month's guest speaker is President Fogel, and any UVM person is welcome to attend. We aren't sure if there will be much time for questions, but hopefully his presentation will be informative.

Another option for those who'd like the Staff Council to bring issues to the Administration's attention would be to fill out a Contact Sheet on the Staff Council website. We're trying a project to expand the usefulness of this process:

Once a month the Staff Council officers and admin. staff meet with President Fogel and Gary Derr to discuss topics of current interest to the staff. Input from contact sheets helps the Council office know what the staff is most interested in communicating to the administration. Soon there'll be a better explanation and procedure on the website; this is just an early head's-up that it's available. Their next meeting is October 13th, so if you'd like to submit a topic, please send it in soon!

Also, the contact sheets aren't limited to subjects concerning problems; if anyone has a good idea or suggestion, they'd love to hear about those too!

I hope everyone gets a chance to check out the progress of Fall colors--it started out looking like a dull year, but Nature seems to have caught up with the season!


Have a good week,


Joanne
