Reminders
* University Libraries is offering one-hour workshops on citation searching for all interested faculty, including those preparing tenure, promotion and other documents. The workshops are from 3-4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, and Wednesday, Aug. 27. Both workshops will be held in 217 Ablah Library. To sign up, send an email to cathy.moore-jansen@wichita.edu or janet.brown@wichita.edu.
* Effective Aug. 11, WSU travelers will receive an email stating the Travel Office has completed the entry of your travel request. The email will provide instructions regarding how to sign into the Travel and Expense Management system and how to review and submit the travel document. This online approval will eliminate the need for the traveler to sign the Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursement forms. This is the first step toward full routing and approval of all travel documents. Questions? Call the WSU Travel Office at 978-3070.
* Faculty and staff are welcome to submit questions to President Bardo in advance of his presentation "WSU Transformation: Becoming the Innovation University" at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, in the Shirley Beggs Ballroom, 305/306 Rhatigan Student Center. Submit questions via email at wsuinnovation@wichita.edu. If you are unable to attend, you can go to http://www.wichitastate.tv/live to watch it online.
