 4. Wellness activities (Zoe Revell)—upcoming plans, call for new members

  • CPR workshop—August  14
  • Blood drives—September 13
  • Carle blood pressure checks and carpal tunnel awareness sessions
  • Suggestion for a wellness fair, perhaps in conjunction with some other event like National Diabetes Month (November), or Mental Health Awareness Month (May) with blood sugars and cholesterol checks.  There may be a charge per test, we’ll have to check.
  • November is also the Smoke Out event and campus will go SMOKE FREE in January.
  • Fitness Trail is still on the list but Zoe is finding it difficult to get a class that does what she needs for it to do in order to make the changes.
  • September-October, Passport
  • September—disaster preparedness from Preservation

 5. Orientation checklist and follow up.

 6. Ideas:

  • Ideas for open houses—VetMed, SSHEL, Circ, Media Commons, Oak Street, IAS
  •  Need reminder emails regarding Lynda.com at the beginning of each semester
  • Need an overview of supervising civil service policies and rules, including leaves and breaks
  • Reminders need to be sent for staff events a day or week before that remind staff to ask for approval of time to be gone.
  • Richard—training videos for circulation employees

7. Website—continuation of discussion
