BUSINESS BRIEFS

Flu Shot Clinic

Walk-in flu shots will be offered in Grainger Hall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 9 in room 3190. There is no charge for personnel with Dean Care, Physicians Plus, Group Health Cooperative or Unity health insurance, but you must bring your insurance card. If you do not bring your card, a fee of $28 will be charged for the flu shot. Cash or check will be accepted and a receipt will be provided to obtain reimbursement from your insurance provider.

Business Library Practice Room Available for Presentations

The General Library System, the Business Library and the School of Business Technology Support Center have teamed up to convert a group study room (Room 3220, in the upper level of the library) into a facility where students can practice their presentations. The technology in this room replicates what exists in most of the classrooms in Grainger Hall. The computer in the classroom is not connected to the Grainger domain, so students will not have to login, but they will have to transport their presentations via a flash drive or use My Webspace. Students may reserve this room one week in advance, at the Business Library’s Circulation Desk, or by calling 262-5935.

Dean Open Office Hours

Dean Michael M. Knetter will hold open office hours from 3 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1 and Tuesday, Dec. 5.

Dean’s Holiday Party

Mark your calendars: The Dean's Holiday Party will be held Wednesday, Dec.13 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. in room 5120. More information about the party will be in the December 1 School of Business Gazette.

Opening Time for Grainger Hall

Grainger Hall has always officially opened at 7 a.m. but doors were usually unlocked by 6 a.m. Over the last year, there have been security issues early in the morning that required the police to be called. Because of concern for the early morning employees’ safety, the 7 a.m. opening time will be enforced. If you need to be in the building before then, please contact Cheryl Schroud at 262-6006 or cschroud@bus.wisc.edu to discuss your options. If you do have access to the building 7 a.m., please do not let anyone else in. People who park below Grainger but do not work in the building can exit the parking lot through the University Avenue or Johnson Street stairs. Anyone with permission to be in the building before 7 a.m. should have a working access code. Please contact Cheryl Schroud with any questions.
