Reminders, deadlines and events
* BoHung Kim, associate professor at the University of Ulsan, Korea, will give a talk as a part of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar Series from 4-5 p.m. today (Tuesday, Feb. 13) in 126 Clinton Hall.
* According to the Affordable Care Act, the IRS 1095-C form (proof of medical insurance) will be required for all employees when filing their taxes. Similar to a W-2 or 1099 form, employees will need to have it if they prepare their own taxes or to provide to their tax professional who assists them with filing their taxes. The State of Kansas will mail forms to employees' homes, or employees may also log in to the State Employee Health Plan (SEHP) Membership Portal to print one.

* It is time for managers to complete the 2017-18 annual evaluations in myPerformance for their non-teaching direct reports. Evaluations should be completed by Feb. 28. Join your Human Resources staff in an open lab to help you navigate the software or to learn more about accessing myPerformance, adding ratings and comments to an evaluation, printing a copy of the evaluation or adding a co-planner.
