Human Resources is pleased to announce the continuation of a flexible schedule option this summer for staff, starting Monday, June 10, and continuing through Friday, August 16.

Managers may adopt flexible hours for staff, where possible. Because our campus offers programs and classes throughout the summer, flex time can be approved by managers only as long as each department’s or unit’s work commitments are fully met, and departments and units are able to provide service five days a week. Whether a staff member may adopt a flex schedule is subject to the approval of that person’s supervisor.

As a reminder President Liebowitz has approved a discretionary day Friday, July 5, the university will be closed following the July 4th holiday.

Registration is still open for the June 4-July 1 Inter-collegiate edHealth Walking Challenge.

Employees can compete individually or as a team. Each member of a team tracks their steps individually, but team members can walk together to help each other boost their step count. Everyone who meets the weekly step challenge of an average of 5000 steps per day will be entered into a raffle to win great prizes each week.

For more information and to get started please visit the Office of Human Resources website.
