In this issue:
The staff newsletter (Staff Plan-it) and faculty newsletter (Monday Memo) are combining into one, bi-weekly newsletter starting March 2, 2020. Today's newsletter is the last edition of Staff Plan-it. Melanie Klass, Internal Communications Manager for the Mandel School, will manage this combined newsletter. Under her leadership and expertise, you will see a new and improved format. You will still continue to receive information targeted to staff, but with an additional section for faculty information. Information or news items should still be sent to Craig Zullig.
 Rick Jennings is leaving the Mandel School to take a new position with [U]Tech as a Teaching & Learning Designer/Technologist.

In this role, he has assisted students by connecting them with resources, assisted staff and faculty with many different needs, and helped plan orientation and commencement. Please stop by to see him before his last day - Friday, March 6, 2020.
