Reminders

* Join students, faculty and staff for a library orientation on Thursday, Jan. 14. One orientation will be held from 11 a.m.-noon, and one from 7-8 p.m. in Ablah Library. For posters, contact Angela Paul at 978-5084 or angela.paul@wichita.edu.

* Beginning today (Monday, Jan. 4) WSU will use PeopleAdmin. This new process will change the way you access certain information in the hiring process. HR plans to implement this process for lecturers as well. If your department needs to fill a position, contact Human Resources at 978-3065 to schedule a time to train your department in January. If you are not immediately impacted, training sessions will be offered 8:30-10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays from January to April.

* To improve the registration process for all students, WSU will no longer cancel student registrations for non-payment. This change will be effective for the 2010 spring semester. Go to http://wichita.edu/droppolicy.
