With the help of University Information Services, Staff Council has a new email listserv to reach staff quickly when key issues and meetings arise. Despite heavy email traffic, “a listserv is one of the most efficient ways for Staff Council to ‘get the word out’,” the organization said in announcing the new service. The Council is seeking new members for 2007-2008 to augment its activities, which include appointing staff to various campus committees, lunchtime lectures, brown bag meetings with the President and publication of a bi-annual newsletter. To sign up, contact Mary Schellinger at mbs7001@humboldt.edu. Deadline for submissions is Friday, May 11, or until vacancies are filled.
Staff Appreciation Day, sponsored by the Office of the President, is Fri., May 4, in the Kate Buchanan Room, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Dessert will be served and each member’s name will be entered into drawings for prizes donated by the campus community. Sterling silver pins, designed by Baroni Designs Jewelers, Arcata, will be presented to staff with 10 or more years of service. The Council’s website address is http://www.humboldt.edu/~staff/ and three staff members are available to answer email inquiries and comments at staff@humboldt.edu.
