Vantage is live!

Submitted By kplinske@mchenry.edu  7/1/2009 2:15:34 AM

Phone: 8694

Today a significant portion of our new ERP system is live! CampusVantage - the human resources, payroll, and finance module of our new ERP - is officially up and running.<p> As we've indicated in past emails, most of us won't immediately notice a difference in day-to-day operations. The individuals most directly affected by this transition are those in the finance and human resources offices, as well as those who process invoices.

For the rest of us, we should continue submitting paper absence slips, paper POP forms, and paper timecards. If you have used the AAA or DADLST functionality in NXView, or the Accounting Database, you will not be able to access FY2010 budget information this way. A number of trainings have been set up for budget managers during the weeks of July 8 and July 15 to help you learn how to review your budget in Vantage.<p> Also, beginning with the July 9 payroll, you'll notice a new format to your advice of credit. We're hopeful that you'll find the new format more user-friendly with clearer descriptions of your pay and deductions. We'll be anxious to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Kudos to all who have been involved in this portion of the ERP conversion, including Human Resources, the Business Office, the Business Services Office, Computing Services and the IT staff for doing an incredible job of supporting the College through this transition!<p> As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Humanities Teaching Development Fellowship

Submitted By csobolak@mchenry.edu  7/15/2009 4:53:52 PM

Phone: 7538

The National Endowment for the Humanities Teaching Development Fellowships (TDF) support college and university teachers pursuing research aimed specifically at improving their undergraduate teaching. Teaching Development Fellowships cover periods lasting from three to five months and carry stipends of $4,200 per month. Thus the maximum stipend is $21,000 for a five-month award period. The program has three broad goals: 1) to improve the quality of humanities education in the United States; 2) to strengthen the link between research and teaching in the humanities; and 3) to foster excellence in undergraduate instruction. Projects must improve an existing undergraduate course that has been taught in at least THREE different terms and will continue to be taught by the applicant.

Research in any area of the humanities is welcome. The deadline is October 1, 2009.

Good News for those of you who have Optional Life Insurance. Reliance Standard has lowered their rates effective July 1st. Beginning on your July 9th check, you will see that your premium for Optional Life will be reduced.

You will also notice on your July 9th check that we will break out the categories of optional life insurance so that you can see what the costs are for the optional life you have on yourself, the optional life you have on your spouse and/or the optional life you have on your children.

Look for these and other changes that will begin on your July 9th check.

For Your Information-Updates on the MCC Promise

Submitted By chaggerty@mchenry.edu  7/24/2009 5:04:40 PM

Phone: 8727

We recently made some updates to the MCC Promise pages on our website. Please see language below, and make sure you're familiar with these requirements. You may direct anyone with questions to the Registration Office. Thank you!

Haven’t Submitted Your FAFSA? The deadline for FAFSA paperwork was July 15. Any FAFSA completed and filed after July 15 will take a minimum of four weeks to process. Your MCC Promise award letter will only be mailed after your FAFSA and MCC Promise application have been completed without errors. Due to processing time and need for accuracy, there is no guarantee that applications received after July 15 will be processed in time for the fall 2009 semester. All students wishing to apply MCC Promise to the fall 2009 semester must have their MCC Promise application handed in NO LATER THAN the first day of fall classes- August 21, 2009. Students are solely responsible for meeting all deadlines.

Missed the Cutoff for Fall 2009? If you missed deadlines to receive the MCC Promise for the fall 2009 semester, be sure to complete all paperwork now to secure your MCC Promise for spring 2010. Spring semester deadline for FAFSA is: October 1, 2009. Based on the criteria set for the MCC Promise, students are only eligible to receive the MCC Promise within one semester of graduating from their in-district high school. Therefore, early high school graduates from January 2009 will no longer be eligible for the MCC Promise as of spring 2010 semester.

I've got a lovely glass and metal two-bulb table lamp in my office for anyone who'd like it. The shade itself is metal (tin or brass?) with a subtle design, and the body is made of blue-tinted swirled glass eggs. The thing is, though, that it smells a bit like recently blown-out birthday candles when it's lit for more than a few minutes, so it's likely that it needs a bit of rewiring.

But, for those handy-andies out there, or anyone else who'd like to take a chance, it's here for the first caller, e-mailer, or stopper-by! Laura Power, xt. 7533, A377

Marie Day (Adult Ed department) and daughter, Firefighter Marcie Day, are seeking donations for a St. Baldrick's Day Event sponsored by the Harvard Fire Protection District. St. Baldrick's Foundation is a non-profit foundation that supports research for kids with cancer. Bob Day (Marie's son) will have his head shaved during the event. Each shavee solicits pledges for the event. Mom is asking fellow employees at MCC to help us reach our goal of $500.

Sunday, August 9, 2009 Harvard Moose Lodge Pavilion (Rt. 14 to Harvard, west on Rt. 173) 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Games -- Food -- Prizes and of course the traditional Shaving of the Heads

It would be wonderful to see many of you at the event but if you can't make it and would just like to pledge, go to the web site listed below, (click on Event Partcipants; click on Bob Day; then choose the way you would like to donate. You can also bring your donation to my office A362, made out to St. Baldrick's.) It is that easy to help support this vital research. If you have any questions you can call Marie Day, ext.8542. Thank you to those who have donated so far, looking forward to hearing from more this week!

I want to thank all of you who expressed condolences about the passing of my mother. The compassion and concern during this time was very much appreciated. Sincerely, Martha Rodriguez and family
