Hello everyone,
This week I’d like to share some information on the renovation of the Telepresence Room. All four campuses are getting these rooms updated for improved technology, and work on ours will start July 17, when contractors will start tearing out the current room and replacing the technology. Their plan is to have it all done by July 24. Work will also start soon to repair an old steam pipe that stretches through rooms 202 and 114, down into the auditorium.
Also starting is the construction on the U.S. Census Research Data Center to be housed in Room 205. It will have its own federal staff person, and we will need to reach out to him or her to make that person welcome in Ellis. That is also supposed to be complete by July 30.
Special Collections Librarian candidates are coming July 13 and 27, and I know many of you will try to make their open forums those mornings at 11 am in 4F51A.
Sheena’s replacement Noah Hartsfield started this week, and he has a service dog named Tara. They’re a happy addition to room 104.
HSL’s newest librarian, Taira Sullivan, starts Monday, so we have another new person to welcome!
The Student Fee Working Group is still meeting most Tuesday afternoons, and Matt will give us all a full report at the All Staff meeting on August 13.
If you have ideas about what you’d like to have beyond a budget report, division reports and student fee report, followed by general Q and A, at the All Staff meeting, please send them to me soon.
