CAS Connections
October 2019
CAS Staff Council is kicking off a new event this fall for staff to connect on different topics and issues they’re interested in! Our first event is Oct. 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and will be held in 1007 Oldfather. Breakfast snacks and refreshments will be served. The goals of this first event are to: 1) allow staff to CONNECT, 2) learn about what’s working well across different areas, and 3) learn how the Staff Council can help serve the staff of the College. From 8:30 to 9 will be social time, and from 9 to 10 we will break into groups by topic so that staff with similar duties can meet one another. We hope to see lots of staff and new faces there, and to help facilitate this, we are allowing offices to close during this event so that staff can attend more easily. Contact Lindsay Augustyn at laugustyn2@unl.edu with any questions.
