Information Sessions for UW Staff Thursday, Faculty Friday

University of Wyoming employees will have an opportunity to hear from and ask questions of UW leaders during information sessions via Zoom this week.

The focus is UW’s phased return plan for the fall semester amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

An information session for non-faculty staff and employees is set for 2-3:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20. The link to participate is https://uwyo.zoom.us/j/93034033824. Among those scheduled to present information and respond to questions are Vice President for Student Affairs Kim Chestnut and Associate Vice President for Human Resources Tom Koczara.

An information session for faculty members is 2-3:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. The link to participate is https://uwyo.zoom.us/j/98989742985. Among those scheduled to present information are Interim Provost Anne Alexander and Vice Provost Tami Benham-Deal.

President Ed Seidel has granted 90 minutes of release time each day for employees to participate. The scheduling of release time should be a collaborative discussion between employee and supervisor to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the unit. For those unable to participate live, the Zoom sessions will be recorded for later viewing at the same links above.

These live sessions are in addition to planned video recordings to provide information to faculty and staff members -- and answer their questions. Thursday’s session for staff members and Friday’s session for faculty members will include live questions and answers, but employees also may submit questions ahead of time by emailing townhall@uwyo.edu or going here.
