Faculty and Staff Compliance Training - 2020

In January, Lisa Palazzo, University Compliance and Privacy Officer, will be emailing all faculty and staff with a unique link to the CWRU 2020 compliance training module.

This year's training has new content focusing on effective stewardship of university resources.  2020 marks the fifth year the University is conducting on-line compliance training.

Finishing the module should take around 30 minutes.  It may be completed all at once or in separate, briefer sessions.

The deadline to complete the training is March 31, 2020.

Please contact Lisa Palazzo with any questions related to this training.

 


Table Tents Available

You may have noticed table tents in our common spaces.  Please be aware these are available to all Mandel School departments and organizations:
