Tuesday Morning Notes 

November 22, 2011

 

 

FOCUS ON FACULTY:

 

In just over a week, we say goodbye to a longtime Extension agent, Sharon
Hoelscher Day.  Her last day at the Maricopa County Office is Wednesday,
November 30.  Sharon has been innovative in developing programs that met the
needs of the community but were based in relevant research.  She also
collaborated with university departments as well as organizations that could
expand her outreach to the community.  Her Bone Builders, Healthy Lifestyles
(including Walk Across Arizona and SNAP-Ed), and Food Safety programs are
all extremely successful.  She is a leader within and outside Extension and
served in nationally elected positions in NEAFCS and JCEP.  Sharon was an
excellent mentor to many Extension faculty.  Her leadership will be missed.
She and her husband Dan will be enjoying retirement in Gardenerville, Nevada
as they view the Sierra Nevada and watch the wild horses from their home.

 

SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING:

 

Recent events at various universities have again reminded us that
universities are under increasing scrutiny to ensure that we follow ethical
standards of conduct and legal mandates.  One of these areas is in sexual
harassment.  As members of University community, we all share in the
responsibility of building a climate free of harassment and discrimination.
In support of that commitment, the University offers an online harassment
prevention program for all faculty, staff, appointed professionals, and
student employees.  I strongly encourage you and all your staff to complete
this online training and print off the completion certification to save in
your personnel files.

 

The online program provides valuable information to the University community
about their rights and responsibilities with regard to harassment
prevention.  Through a series of scenarios and activities, students and
employees will learn important principles and develop skills to enhance
their educational and working relationships.  Full participation in this
program will help build an inclusive learning and work environment where all
members of the University community can achieve their full potential.

 

The program is available in supervisory, non-supervisory, faculty, and
student/student employee versions.  It is also available in Spanish.  All
versions of the program can be accessed at the following link:

TECH TIP OF THE WEEK:

 

Most desktop programs contain keyboard shortcuts which can make using them
faster.  You may even want to use one hand for the keyboard and one for the
mouse!  These shortcuts are a key combination of the Control (Ctrl) key in
Windows or Command key in Mac OS X, and some letter or function key.  Some
common editing shortcuts are Ctrl + C (Copy), Ctrl + X (Cut), Ctrl + V
(Paste) and Ctrl + Z (Undo).  In Web browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer or
Firefox), Ctrl + F brings up a Find box for searching text on the page.  To
refresh a page, use Ctrl + F5.  You can zoom in with Ctrl + +, and zoom out
with Ctrl + -.  In Outlook, Ctrl + N will open a new email message, while
Ctrl + D will delete a message.  Try checking a program's menu system to see
if a keyboard shortcut alternative is available (for commands you regularly
use) by hovering over the menu item.
