The new Staff Spotlight Award highlights staff members—university support staff and professional staff—each month for their service to the K-State community. Anyone can nominate eligible employees. Read announcement.
Winter Break
The university will reduce activity Tue., Dec. 26, through Fri., Dec. 29. All university offices will be closed during this time except for those providing specific, required services. The university will reopen Tue., Jan. 2. More information about holidays, reduced activity, and leave usage is in the annual University Holiday Memo.
Use your Discretionary Day by December 23!
To determine if you have an available discretionary day, log into Employee Self Service/HRIS. If a line for “D-Day” appears, you have an available discretionary day (an hours balance will not be displayed). Once you use your discretionary day, the line will disappear.
