Human Resources System (HRS) Upgrade Completed

The upgrade to the Human Resources System (HRS) which caused an outage that affected your My UW System Portal from Wednesday, February 22nd to Monday, February 27th, has been completed. You can now access all the features in your My UW System Portal as before. Thank you for your patience!

You will notice some updates and a little different look, but the functionality is the same. The UW-Service Center notified us that there are some issues with approvers having difficulty accessing employee’s timesheets today, but an overnight process will run tonight, which should resolve these issues. If you have any issues on Tuesday, February 28th or after, please contact us at hr@uwgb.edu or ext. 2390.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Available to UWGB Employees

Thank you to Suzi Sevcik of Sleepy Hollow Farm & CSA for visiting UW-Green Bay on February 7th to share information about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)! CSA is a partnership between a farm and a local community of supporters that provides a direct link between the production and consumption of food. CSA members cover the farm’s operating cost by purchasing a share of the harvest. This provides members with a healthy supply of locally grown, seasonally fresh produce during the growing season.

Sleepy Hollow Farm & CSA is a small, farmer owned farm in Kewaunee County. They specialize in growing a variety of veggies using sustainable farming practices, and no chemicals, herbicides or pesticides touch your food. The 2017 summer shares will last for 10 weeks – from mid-July to September. For more information about CSA’s or to sign up for Suzi’s CSA (that may be delivered to campus again this year if enough people sign up), please visit the Sleepy Hollow Farm & CSA website at http://www.sleepyhollowfarmcsa.com/. Don’t wait to sign-up – Suzi has a limited number of spots which fill-up quickly!
