[SADivision 0143] CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving

23 Oct '14

Dear Student Affairs Staff Member: Last week you received the email below from President Matos Rodríguez asking you to contribute to the CUNY Campaign. Today, I am writing to make a personal plea to everyone in the Student Affairs family. Most of us already donate to various charitable organizations, so why not make it even easier and have donations to your favorite charities made directly from your paycheck? For many years I have been doing this and I know the charities are getting the money I designate to them as I get a thank you letter from the charities each year. Won’t you consider doing this as well? Whether you want the donations taken from your paycheck or to donate a one-time amount to your favorite organizations, you can set it up via the CUNY Campaign secure website at http://cuny.edu/site/campaign/donate.html If you don’t want to do this on the secure website, you can complete a paper donation form in the Human Resources Department (163 Kiely Hall). Every little bit helps; no donation is too small! In addition to your favorite charitable organizations, I would like to suggest that you and your colleagues consider contributing to the Queens College Foundation. As you know, many of our current and potential students have great difficulty paying for Queens College. Our contributions to the Queens College Foundation will go directly to support scholarships for our students. Please feel free to contact Reinalda Medina (HR), Maria Fosco (the fundraising Captain for the Student Affairs Division), or me if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your consideration! Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L.

Matos Rodríguez: CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving The Power of One Person Making One Pledge The CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving is one of our community's finest traditions. It is the time each year when the entire University comes together to address critical health, human, and environmental challenges facing our city and our world. At a time when social challenges can seem overwhelming, your donation to the CUNY Campaign counts more than ever. The Power of One-the power of one person making one pledge to help others-is an extraordinary power that we all have. There are hundreds of charitable organizations that the CUNY Campaign has helped over the years and to which you can target your donation, including those that provide food and shelter to the less fortunate, perform cutting-edge research on our more vexing diseases, as well as our own Queens College Foundation which provides scholarships to our hard-working students. How You Can Help Our campus uses an environment-friendly, web-based format to accept donations. On that website-http://cuny.edu/site/campaign/donate.html<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0011cvrrhQPbe3rWkWjl8W-oZB_lpuXVgwi45bsKeipOg-3…>-you will find a list of participating organizations and a donation form. If you are more comfortable with the paper format, booklets are available through the Office of Human Resources (Kiely Hall 163). Signing up for the payroll deduction option makes giving easier as your gift will be taken out of your paycheck in small deductions throughout the year-small deductions that will add up to great benefits for many people. And if you sign up by Friday, December 5, you will be eligible to win an Apple iPad. The Queens Team Making a Difference I know our contributions make a difference, and that together we can help promote positive and lasting changes in people's lives and our communities. Reinalda Medina, our Assistant Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services, has volunteered to spearhead Queens College's participation in the 2014 CUNY Charitable Giving Campaign. Reinalda has put together a team of dedicated individuals from across the campus community to serve as captains. They are: Molash Alemayehu, Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Paul Dubois, Division of Arts and Humanities Carol Douglas, Division of Social Sciences Maria Fosco, Division of Student Affairs Kim McCants, Division of Education Sandra Mew, Office of the Provost Tanya Ross, Division of Finance and Administration Mary Aboki, Office of Human Resources and Administrative Services. You may contact any member of this group for information about the Campaign. I hope you will join Reinalda, our team of divisional captains, and me in making this our most successful year ever.

[SADivision 0140] Registration for Winter and Spring 2015
by Jennifer Jarvis 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Sharing, The attached registration schedule was sent to the Divisional Deans and the Office of the Provost for their review. Please note that the dates indicated are start dates and student enrollment continues until the beginning of each semester/session. In addition, you recently received an email from Joyce Kong regarding the scheduling period for Winter/Spring 2015 (Sept 29th - Fri, Oct 10th ). As your schedules are being created, please review the setup of functions such as instructor assignment access, waitlist limits, and class permissions. Set correctly, this will reduce the number of issues both departments and students face during the registration and grading period. If you need any assistance in reviewing the setup please let us know. The Registrar's Office plans to term activate (rollover) the Winter and Spring terms and begin assigning enrollment appointments today. Our goal is to allow students the opportunity to plan their schedules several weeks prior to the beginning of registration. You will soon see the Spring 15 semester indicated on students records. (winter is part of spring so there is no separate winter session indicated) In addition, I have attached the campus contingency plan. This plan was created by the Enrollment Management team with detailed instructions for faculty and staff in the event that CUNYfirst is unavailable during the registration period. Please review and share with your staff. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let us know. -Matt Matthew Casanova Director, Office of the Registrar Queens College, CUNY 1-718-997-4428

I must have all names by October 17, 2014. Thank you in advance for your assistance. The tenth annual CUNY ³Women¹s Leadership Conference² , under the leadership of the Council of Presidents¹ Women¹s Leadership Initiative Committee, and cosponsored by The New York Times in College, and the NYC Commission on Women's Issues will take place: Friday, October 31, 2014 8:15 8:50 am: Registration and Buffet Breakfast 9 am 4 pm: Program Hunter College/CUNY 68th Street and Lexington Avenue The goal of this invitation-only conference is to inspire women students with demonstrated leadership qualities to further develop their skills and realize their potential as leaders. Perhaps the most important feature of this conference for the students who attend is that they have been especially selected to participate by QC Administrators. The significance of this invitation sets the conference tone; students feel the empowerment of being acknowledged and rewarded. This year the conference theme is ³Leadership for the Next 10 Years: Advancing the Agenda². We will replicate our proven format, introducing participants, as a cohort, to a comprehensive, full day-long, program of speakers and panels, presentations by legislators and representatives of prominent women¹s organizations.

[SADivision 0137] Breast Cancer Awareness Month Fund Raiser FUN!
by Jennifer Jarvis 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Subject: Breast Cancer Awareness Month Fund Raiser FUN! As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Almost everyone knows someone who has been affected by this disease. National Denim Day, founded eleven years ago, is the largest single-day fundraiser aimed towards the fight against breast cancer. To date, more than $61 million dollars have been raised. To expand upon this idea, The Office of Human Resources is sponsoring "Denim Fridays" for the month of October. In order to raise funds for this cause, the cost of participation is $5.00 for each Friday that one participates, with all proceeds going to the Lee National Denim Day Foundation. Participants are allowed to wear jeans to work for every Friday that they choose to participate. For example, five dollars will allow you to dress down one Friday, ten dollars for two, etc. Since there are five Fridays in October, and knowing how everyone loves a bargain, we are offering a discount of 5 Fridays for $20.00. All responding participants will have a "pink patch" with their name on them display in the hallway outside OHR in Kiely Hall. We accept cash, credit cards and checks made payable to the Lee National Denim Day Foundation. The first 100 to respond will receive a pink ribbon pin to proudly display their contribution. As an added bonus, on the final Friday in October (31stth), anyone who visits OHR in costume is invited to participate in a Best Costume Contest. As all participants from years past can tell you, it is a lot of fun and our winners can attest to the wonderful prizes! Get together as a department and show the rest of the QC Community that you care! If you already wear jeans to work, then make them count! If you don't dress down, here's your chance. As part of the Queens College family, this is our opportunity to be a part of the search for the cure. Together we can accomplish AMAZING things!!! Should you have any questions, please contact me or Mary Aboki at extension 4455 or stop by OHR in Kiely Hall room 163.
