Several MU Libraries staff attended the MOBIUS Annual Conference in early June. In addition, several of our staff members were on the conference program.
The members of the MU Libraries United Way Campaign Committee would like to thank Adrienne Arden, Bob Almony, Sarah Cron, Ann Riley and Jim Cogswell for agreeing to be targets in our proposed pie throwing incentive. Unfortunately, due to a lack of enthusiasm for this event on the part of the winners and other staff members, we have decided to cancel the pie toss and substitute a coffee break with the director as the prize. During this break, Director Cogswell has promised to share a secret about himself, which no one else at MU Libraries knows, with the winners. Please stay tuned for a request for your input and ideas on incentives and events for our next campaign.
Thank you – Michelle Baggett, Paula Roper and Nora Tamm
The title of Security Guard on the MU campus has been changed to Security Officer.
