HERE is the Zoom link for those who were not able to attend the Staff and Faculty meeting on Wednesday, November 5th.

The passcode is: #=z=+804

The ACU Library is administering a survey called LibQUAL to help us gather feedback about how the library is meeting the needs of its users. The purpose of the survey is to help us assess and improve library services. To participate, you must be a student or employee at ACU, either on the Abilene campus or the Dallas campus. Completing the survey would take about 15 minutes of your time. You will be asked to indicate your minimum, perceived, and desired levels of service regarding collections, facilities, and service points. Results are securely stored in off-campus servers and are anonymous. If you haven’t already completed the survey this year, please click HERE for the required Consent Form and the link to the survey.

We’d like to invite all staff to join the next Staff Senate Training with Tyson Alexander, MACCC. This Friday, November 14, 11:30-1:00, ACU’s Director of the Medical and Counseling Care Center, Tyson Alexander, will be sharing about What To Do With Students In Crisis: Exploring what it means for a student to struggle well, how to best support them in your role, and looking at how the ACU campus responds to crisis situations. Lunch will be provided, and we can host up to 40 staff at this event. If you’d like to sign up for this conversation, you may do so here, and we’ll send you a Google Calendar invite to indicate if you’ve secured a spot. Also, remember to give a shout to your colleagues for their amazing work through the Recognizing Excellence Among Us activity. Congratulations, Abby Easley for being the October Shout Winner for her welcoming presence and for going above and beyond in her work so regularly – Thank you, Abby, for shining on this campus! And Congratulations to our other CompassPro Winners for October: Lauren Boyles, Deborah Niccum, Rene Ciscneros & Lindsay Snyder.

With the busy traveling time among us, please keep in mind that ACU has a telemedicine option available. ACU partners with Teladoc to provide telemedicine to all employees and dependents enrolled on the medical plan. Getting sick is never convenient, but telemedicine provides more convenient, quicker access to a medical professional for common conditions. Teladoc allows members to access a doctor from your home, office, or anywhere – 24/7/365. To access Teladoc, you will visit Teladoc.com or the Teladoc app.

We are 42 days from the launch of Workday! Next week we begin our training sessions. Please take a moment to review the available sessions and put them on your calendar. We will offer sessions covering everything from financial tasks to submitting time sheets. We strongly encourage everyone to attend at least one of the general navigation sessions. This is where you will learn how to submit time and leave so that you can get paid.
