Weekly Email

Hi Everyone!

 

Here is the weekly email. Enjoy!

 

From Seth:

A few things (though it may feel like 20 things):

1.      First, a shout out for the 24 of you who have completed your semester training classes.  Way to go!

2.      The training class calendar has been updated.  I added 17 new classes so if you can’t make it to any of them, I probably won’t believe you.

3.      You must now sign up for training classes on both the lab’s website and it.byu.edu/training.  This also means you must un-enroll on both calendars if you can’t make it to a training class.  If you don’t know how, ask your supervisor.  If you were signed up before Friday (Oct. 15) for existing classes, you were automatically signed up on both calendars.

4.      TIPs mid-semester deadline is October 31.

5.      You are phenomenal.  This means you.

 

 

From Phil

Lab Assistant Applications Open: The application can be found under the Jobs tab, and will be available through October 31. If you would like to refer someone for the position please guide them through the process and email a recommendation to Phil, with thoughtful reasons why they would make an excellent labs employee.

 

Etiquette for posting/picking up shifts: When you put shifts up for sub be sure to mention which hours you would like taken first or if you would like them all taken at once or nothing, etc. When you’re picking up shifts, be considerate of the employee whose hours you are taking. For example, don’t leave lone hours at the beginning or end of the block that you pick up. When in doubt get in touch with the employee that posted the hours and figure out the best way you can cover them.

From Spencer

Evaluations

  Mid semester evaluations are open.  All Lab Assistants and Lab Consultants are required to do 4 evaluations, one of which has to be your group leader.  They are due at 11:59 PM, Oct. 31st!    Supervisors, Group leader evaluations are going to be on a 3 week schedule until December.  This is due to some technicalities with the website.  For now the next group leader evaluations are due at 11:59 PM. October 27th.    If you have any questions concerning these please ask away.
