humanities this term. Congratulations for a job well-done, Jill!
RSVP for Wed. inservice lunch
Wednesday’s potluck luncheon features a potato bar. Patty Lamoureaux needs to know in advance how
many people will be sharing this meal, so please turn in the invitation in your packet.
Inservice information packets
Part-time employees who aren’t attending inservice activities may pick up this year’s staff information
packet from your building mailbox or Patty Lamoureaux in Administration.
Photo ID badges
In an effort to welcome our students and staff this fall, UCC would like ALL employees to wear name tags.
Temporary name badges were instituted last year. Throughout this past year the Computer Club has been
photographing staff and producing permanent name badges. If you do not have a photo name badge please get
your photo taken at one of the following time slots. The sooner the better in order to have the ID badges
for first day of class.
Photos: Mon., Sept. 20, Campus Center Lobby, noon hour or just prior to the All New Employee Orientation
