ECO2GO CONTAINERS
I can’t say enough good things about the great new orange to go containers that dining services are now using but it’s up to the individual to make sure they return their used containers to one of the return bins (and NOT leave them in the kitchen for someone else to contend with). There is a return box conveniently located in front of Kerr on the Jefferson St. side. Here is the link which shows a location map of the return bins.
QUALTRICS SURVEY TOOL TRAINING OPP
The Professional Faculty Leadership Association (PFLA) is sponsoring a learning workshop for OSU employees on November 19, 1:00-2:30 entitled “Expanding Your Qualtrics Horizon,” presented by JoAnne Bunnage, College of Public Health and Human Sciences. The Qualtrics web-based survey platform is a powerful tool that is available to all OSU faculty, staff, and students. Qualtrics can be used to build simple one-question polls to complex multi-component surveys. This opportunity is provided to all employees whether or not they are active members of PFLA. Cost is $5 for members and $10 for non-members to participate. For details and to register, see the attached flyer or visit here. Administrative faculty who arrange meetings and events, this is a GREAT tool to use for RSVPs, gathering data on your audience, etc.
