Updates from CTLI . . . February 26 09

What does EET need from Physical Facilities? This includes chairs, furniture, painting, whatever . . . Let's get a list going. I've already sent a request for chairs for media specialists and formatters because they spend the most time at their computers.

Centre Retreat
May 1 - all day Centre retreat at the Galt Museum. 9 to 4

RFD's and Budget Process
By end of April we'll know which RFD's will be funded, and then it has to go to the Board of Governors meeting. CTLI submitted 8 RFD's. Four of these RFD's were from EET (DL Curriculum Consultant, AV Tech (Video Conference support) , VC units, Evergreening technology (projectors and Smartboards) for IB)

So far 350 strategies and 50 RFD's were submitted, but they are still waiting for 2 major Centres to submit.

HR Updates
Line Gagne is our contact. Lori McGinnis is the workflow contact.

In the AUPE contract, additional discretionary day for employees. This includes two days between Christmas and New Years. For this year, the additional discretionary day will be tacked onto holidays. If you don't use it by June 30, you will lose it, so you should use these days first. There will be a place to identify this on the leave request.

Convocation
Marshalls are needed for the convocations ceremonies (both morning and afternoon). April 21, 2009. If anybody is intersted in helping, please contact Cassandra ASAP. This person organizes the graduates, leads them in, and then escorts them to their seats.
