Good Morning Just before Christmas break we found out that Karen Kennedy, the Director of Weekend College passed away. She has been on leave since August living with her extended family in Pennsylvania. We are saddened by her passing and our prayers go out to her family. I would ask that you share this with your faculty especially the ones that have worked with Karen over the years. If you want to send condolences please contact Riddhi in the Weekend Office at extension 74848 for contact information. Reinalda Medina will be arranging a memorial sometime in the new year. Thank you all for your many years of support to Karen's efforts in building Weekend College. Vin Vincent J.

[SADivision 0215] Support your favorite charity through the CUNY Campaign
by Adam Rockman 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

All: I am writing to remind all Student Affairs staff members to please support your favorite charity through the CUNY Campaign. Last year, the Division of Student Affairs came in second place in total giving at QC, and I know this group of wonderful and committed people can do even better! One way to support our own would be to donate to the Child Development Center at Queens College or the Queens College Foundation. Both of these entities provide direct help to our students, many of whom struggle to complete their education. Any size contribution would help, even just one or two dollars per paycheck or a one-time credit card donation. Please click on the following link to make your donation, and to make a big difference today: https://www.giveattheoffice.org/_cuny Please call Maria Fosco at x7-4415 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L.

[SADivision 0214] Holiday Reminder - Acceptance of Gifts
by Adam Rockman 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

All: Please see below for a reminder on the state/CUNY rules regarding acceptance of gifts. This is comprehensive information, but please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L. Rockman, Ed.D. | Vice President for Student Affairs Queens College, CUNY<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> | 6530 Kissena Blvd, Queens NY 11367-1597 718-997-5500 | Fax: 718-997-5640 | adam.rockman(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:adam.rockman@qc.cuny.edu> Please be reminded that CUNY's Conflicts of Interest Policy and the New York State Public Officers Law prohibit the acceptance of gifts of more than nominal value from interested sources. Accordingly, as a CUNY employee you may not solicit or accept such gifts, either directly or indirectly, from any interested source, regardless of whether the gift was intended to influence or reward you. For purposes of this memorandum, interested sources include vendors, students, parents, and publishers. Interested sources are persons and business entities with which CUNY or its constituent Colleges are doing business, and also those persons and business entities interested in doing business with CUNY, or its constituent Colleges. Interested sources even include those persons and business entities that have a history of doing business with CUNY or any of its constituent Colleges in the recent past. The New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) excludes from the definition of "gift" any food or beverage worth $15 or less, and any promotional items with no resale value such as calendars or pens. This exclusion has no restriction on place, purpose or source. Any perishable gifts worth more than $15, such as fruit baskets or other food, must be either returned to the sender, donated to charity, or placed in a common area of the office. Holiday parties hosted by interested sources may not be attended without prior approval from your ethics officer. For more information, please see JCOPE's "'Tis the Season to Remember the Ethics Rules for Gifts," available at: http://www.jcope.ny.gov/pubs/eblast/JCOPE%20Ethics%20Reminder_Tis%20the%20S… Additionally, CUNY's Conflicts of Interest Policy and the New York State Public Officers Law also prohibit gifts from CUNY subordinates to CUNY supervisors (this term includes managers, directors, deans, and all executive staff titles). Such gifts from subordinates may give an appearance of impropriety or give the impression that someone may improperly influence a decision-maker. There is no prohibition on supervisors giving modest gifts to their subordinates as tokens of their appreciation. The CUNY policy and state law regarding gifts apply to all CUNY employees, including faculty. For more information please see our website: http://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/la/ethics.html If you have any questions regarding CUNY's and JCOPE's interpretation of the law, I encourage you to ask before you act. Please contact your Campus Ethics Officer: http://www2.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/legal-affairs/ethics/coll… If you receive a gift, please send it back to the person/entity along with the sample letter: http://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/la/ethics/nogifts.html For additional information regarding gifts, please see JCOPE's "Guide to the New Gift Regulations for State Officers and Employees" at: http://www.jcope.ny.gov/training/Guide%20to%20the%20New%20Gift%20Regulation…

Sharing, Jenn The OPDV/DOH/NYSCASA/NYSCADV/SUNY webinar series has been expanding, and we recently put up a website to make it easier for higher ed professionals and community partners to find and register for webinars without waiting for an email update. Several people from agencies and colleges have reached out with great webinar ideas and we keep adding new sessions to the queue, allowing a very efficient sharing of information. The next webinar (by the One Love Foundation on dating violence recognition and prevention) is tomorrow. Please share the link with your constituents and remind them that webinars are completely free and are accessible by any public or private college or university professional and well as our New York State community agencies and partners. http://system.suny.edu/sexual-violence-prevention-workgroup/training/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__system.suny.edu_sexual-…> At that site, you will find information on each upcoming webinar and the ability to register directly at any time. You can also find information about upcoming live trainings. We have added several new webinar sessions and have several more under development that will be added in the coming days and weeks. Thank you so much for all of the collegiality and partnership.
