Wow,
What a Turnout
A run-off election settled two ties in the recent
P&S Council
elections. Eleven new members and five incumbents will be seated
on the P&S Council at the June meeting. Overall, voter
turnout via AccessPlus was spectacular, a 49 percent increase
over last year.

P&S
Survey
An ad hoc P&S Council committee is developing
a survey for ISU's 2,200 P&S employees covering topics
like benefits, compensation, workplace environment, etc. The
data will be
used to support activities that benefit both P&S staff
and the overall university community. Do you have ideas for
the survey? Questions about it? Want to volunteer to help?
Contact Barb McManus before May 6, bamcman@iastate.edu, 294-0707.
