Due to construction on Britton Plaza, campus cable TV services will be interrupted starting June 11. While the area is under construction and being regraded, campus cable TV services will not be available to all campus buildings east of College Street, the Rector Science Complex, the HUB, Montgomery and ATS.

With construction underway on Britton Plaza, alternate routes are required to access the HUB. Visit /hubproject to view maps, along with other details, to assist visitors and members of the campus community with navigating the area.

A few highlights:
Currently, exterior stairways must be used to reach the lower level of the HUB. ONLY the College Street entrance offers ramp access to the upper level, and the elevator is located on the west side of the HUB (beside Mathers Theatre).

Both the upper and lower levels can be reached via the Union Station (west) or College Street (east) side entrances.

A throughway in the dining hall will allow access to the other side of the building.

Workday Project Update

During May, our Workday project team completed a major milestone: Customer Confirmation Sessions (CCS).
These sessions ensured that the final designs of our business processes align with the needs of each functional area.

What’s a Customer Confirmation Session?
It’s a walk-through of system configurations and business processes that have been built in Workday for specific workstreams. CCS allows stakeholders to preview how Workday will support their work and provide input before testing begins. Sessions included demonstrations of tasks and processes in key areas:

• Finance: Budget, Endowment, Business Assets, Customer Accounts, Supplier Accounts,
Expenses, Projects, Gifts and Grants
• Human Capital Management (HCM): Recruiting, HCM Core, Benefits, Compensation,
Time Tracking, Absence, Talent, Learning and Payroll

With CCS complete, the project now moves into End-to-End Testing—a phase where the full system is tested from start to finish to confirm that processes are connected, functioning properly, and ready for go-live this winter.

We’re also building our Change Agent Network (CAN)—a team of volunteers from across campus who will help guide their colleagues through the transition to Workday. Want to stay in the loop and support your department?

Hope Station and Carlisle Arts Learning Center invite community members to join Keziah Landis, Administrative Assistant for DEI, for a free creative workshop. Attendees will be invited to participate in a brief conversation about the Black identity through portraits and caricatures (from Jim Crow through the modern day). Afterward, attendees will have the opportunity to paint self portraits with a variety of colors, avoiding pre-mixed natural skin tone colors. Your RSVP includes a light meal, and registration is required.

The ability for employees to charge on account will discontinue at the Bookstore and FAS Mail Center, beginning July 1, 2025. This convenience is rarely used by employees and the implementation of the new Workday system would add complexity to the process since it would require additional integrations. The Bookstore and FAS Mail Center both accept cash and credit cards as forms of payment.
