Timothy Crowley

         Pres. Crowley would like to see staff make use of the Group Wise calendar more (in your e-mail) so there is less searching for people through-out campus. You may have to check and adjust your settings to allow fellow coworkers to view your calendar.

         Construction on Aroostook Hall is behind schedule, Barry and Tim will be communicating with contractors daily to keep project moving forward.

Mike Williams

         Noticed the use of time by some staff members could improve. Important for staff to stay on task and less visiting with other staff members.

          A service standard should be put into place for roles within the Business Office.

Dottie Martin

         Dottie likes how the phone calls are being transferred now. Announcing the caller to the appropriate person before connecting and transferring the call.

         Would like to see staff and faculty post their daily schedule and/or hours outside their office doors.

Bill Egeler

         Noticed that during orientation when we have rushes, we dont seem to have the man power to keep the flow going. He would like to see the staff more educated in the process so maybe they can help answer questions from students enrolling.

         Would like to see better communication internally regarding dates and deadlines to projects.

         Scheduling time off should be used wisely and when offices are appropriately staffed.

o   Golf Tournament- $19,000+-was raised this year. The turn-out was good. The weather could have been better, dinner was excellent. The only complaints heard, were the wait time from when the tournament ended to the time dinner was served.
