New SUPERvisor Series Announcement
After much thought, the longstanding New SUPERvisor Series program has been redesigned. The new version, which will be cohort-based and include developmental opportunities (in addition to its rigorous curriculum) is coming in early 2017. Those interested in being part of our pilot cohort are invited to email Robyn Madar, Program Manager/Trainer, at rmadar@gmu.edu.
Human Resources and Payroll End-of-Years News and Reminders
The Human Resources and Payroll End-of-Year Newsletter went out on Thursday, December 8, to all active employees who receive a paycheck from Mason (this includes student employees—wage, GRAs, GTAs, and RAs– as well as faculty and staff). We encourage everyone to review the reminders, which include timely and important information about W-2s and more.
Who’s Walking Wednesday
Start 2017 with a walking plan! Each Wednesday at noon, join us in the Wellness Circle in front of Merten Hall for a 30-minute walk around campus. Exercise your leadership: sign up to be a walk leader, and invite your colleagues to join you. This is a terrific way to take a break, get some fresh air, and move a little. The 2017 sign-up sheets are now available. Visit hr.gmu.edu/worklife/lunch and scroll to Who’s Walking Wednesday. Walk leader sign-ups are available for Arlington and SciTech, too!
