Thank you...

THANK YOU for making the ICs first full fall semester such a successful one. What would this place be without you?

Travel safely, and enjoy every minute of your well-deserved break. Happy holidays to you!

End of the Semester Stuff

I'm happy to report that each and every one of us lived through I-Core! As the end of the semester is nearly upon us, here are a few reminders: Please remember that you are responsible for each of your shifts until the end of finals week. Be sure to post sub notices for any shifts you will miss. Remember too that to be an employee in good standing and to be eligible for employment next semester, you must have a zero or above balance in your time bank. Not sure what your balance is? Check with Matt or Terry.

By the way, during I-Core week, we served nearly 5000 people each day. You deserve your upcoming break! But if I-Core didn't completely wipe you out, and you're interested in working over the break, talk to Terry.

Spring semester schedules begin the first day of classes, January 9. See Terry if you don't remember your hours.

Congratulations, Kyle!

Kyle Keller will be leaving BUSP and Bloomington for the Big Wide World after his graduation at the end of this semester. A Kelley Marketing & Management major from Indianapolis, Kyle has been a valued BUSP staff member since spring semester, 2009. He holds the distinction of being the only employee in BUSP's history to be paid to have a bucket of ping pong balls dropped on his head. (Watch out for those "miscellaneous duties as assigned.") He states he has enjoyed the close-knit staff at BUSP, as well as the convenience of being able to work in the same place where he spends time studying. He credits his employment here for teaching him how to find books in the stacks, a skill that has served him well. After he leaves us, Kyle will be working in management for Kohl's. While we miss him, he will be missing the company of the many friends he leaves behind. He knows he will also miss the laid back and relaxed Bloomington community, as well as the school pride he knows at IU. As he prepares for his graduation, he gives you this advice, "Take advantage of every opportunity you see, and make the most out of every day because it goes by faster than you realize."

Our heartfelt congratulations to you, Kyle! May Life bring you its very best.

Are there any job openings?

This is a time of year when you'll hear that question. Please encourage all who ask it to fill out an application. You'll find the applications in a folder marked "applications" (appropriate, right?) on the bottom shelf of the telephone cart by the course reserves. When applicants turn in their completed forms, you can either bring them to me or put them in my mailbox. (That's the form, not the applicant. Please do not try to stuff an applicant into my mailbox.)

So are there any job openings for next semester? I'm not sure yet, but I'm getting close to knowing.
