2017 Annual Forum.  I want to thank all of the staff who made annual forum a success. I was able to get by most of the PRU’s and they all seemed packed with participants and engaged.  The Mental Health training was enlightening and it was an excellent turnout.  Congratulations to all the award winners! Enough said, I want to thank you all for being at forum.

Lost & Found: A red Thinsulate winter hat was left behind on Thursday. If it belongs to you please contact Yvonne Bridgeman.

As a follow-up to the mental health training last week during Forum, Lori Bates wanted to send a reminder on the resources we have available to us. The Employee Assistance Program supports CSU employees with their personal issues in three ways. Visit this website for details: http://ombudsandeap.colostate.edu/employee-assistance-program/
