Conversation Corner

Where has the summer gone? On Monday we will kick-off the academic year at Convocation. Our leadership team looks forward to updating, informing, and most of all, engaging you, as we work together to provide learning experiences for our students. We encourage you to get a head start: This Conversation Corner is filled with news and information about what students and staff have been up to, from analyzing data that will drive decision making to launching new technology tools, to engaging the next generation of NICC students. Enjoy these last few weeks of summer!

Agenda and Packet: Board of Trustees Oct. 15, 2018 meeting

You Asked. We Delivered!

1. You can now access Marketing Project Request, Reprint Request, Web Request, Photo Releases and Print Center Request forms through MyCampus! Simply search for Marketing or Print Center Request Forms. (You are still able to access these forms through Google Shared Files.)

Print Center Forms are now Electronic!

The new Print Center Request form is similar to the old one, but easier and faster for you to submit! You simply complete the online form, attach the file you want printed, hit send and you’re done!

Finally, there are a couple updates you will want to be aware of for both the Calmar and Peosta Print Centers.

1. Delivery & Pick-up

Projects will be delivered to your attention through campus mail (if you are located at a center, delivery will work the same). If you want to pick-up your project, it will need to be done during the Print Center Office Hours:

• Calmar: 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
• Peosta: 6:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.

2. Production Time

Please allow a minimum of 2-3 working days for your project to be produced and delivered. This allows for any printing equipment issues and helps prevent large projects being submitted after office hours and requesting delivery early the next morning. (Know we understand there are unexpected emergency projects; when these occur please submit your request online and call the Print Center and speak with Bobbie or Marzieh to make special arrangements.)

If you have any questions please contact:

Marketing:

Shea Herbst, Peosta, ext. 296

Print Center:

Ashley Konzen, Peosta, ext. 321

Early Voting Site Available at the Peosta Campus on Tuesday, Aug. 28!

The Peosta campus Main Building will have an Early Voting Site for the Sept. 11 Bond Continuation Vote from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Please spread the word to students, staff, faculty, friends and neighbors! Important change this year that governs elections in Iowa: During calendar year 2018, voters will be asked to show their ID before voting at the polls. Anyone who does not have the necessary ID will be asked to sign an oath verifying their identity and will be allowed to cast a regular ballot. Valid forms of ID include: an Iowa Driver's License, Iowa Non-Operator's ID, Military ID, U.S. Passport, Tribal ID, Veteran's ID or Voter ID Card. (One of the aforementioned forms of ID will be required to cast a ballot beginning in 2019.)

See other informational documents about the Sept. 11 bond levy vote:

More information about the bond levy campaign is available from Julie Wurtzel at the Calmar campus, wurtzelj@nicc.edu, or Barb O'Hea, at Barb.J.OHea@gmail.com.

You may also send any questions or comments you have to feedback@nicc.edu!

Great Teamwork!

Shane Holdridge, operations coordinator at the Town Clock Business Center in Dubuque, applauded College staff at Peosta for their quick thinking and customer service on Tuesday, Aug. 14, saying: "I want to give a shout out to some staff that helped me out this morning. A room rental group for the Town Clock Business Center ended up standing at the Peosta front entrance thinking their meeting was out there. We found them a space in the conference centers and, without hesitation, Alan (CIS), Tammy (Cougar Café) and the switchboard assisted with tech, food and directions for the group. It was a small group, but love the teamwork!" Thank you to our colleagues for pitching in to help each other. Great customer service is sometimes about the little things we do to make a difference.
