Parking Ambassador Program Shifts Toward Education, Results in Drop in Citations
Since July, Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) has been working to introduce the parking enforcement team to the Cal Poly community as a collaborative partner on campus. TAPS launched the Parking Ambassador Program in an effort to minimize citations by focusing on parking services education. The ambassadors are looking to increase interactions with the campus community to help educate customers on how to comply with parking rules instead of automatically issuing citations. There has been an 80 percent drop in citations since the program was implemented. This new approach, designed to help permit holders better understand when and where they can park, is anticipated to create a better relationship between parking ambassadors and the Cal Poly community. Learn more about TAPS at https://afd.calpoly.edu/parking/.
Help the PAC Support Residents in Need This Holiday Season
Consider donating non-perishable food items to the San Luis Obispo County Food Bank, and help feed the hungry in our community. The Performing Arts Center has two donation bins located in the Main Lobby. Over 46,000 San Luis Obispo County residents are food insecure, meaning one in six face hunger. Approximately 40 percent are children and 20 percent are seniors. The SLO County Food Bank distributed nearly 6 million pounds of food last year. Your contribution will help alleviate hunger and build a healthier community.
Student Success
Construction Management Students Place Second in International Competition
Two construction management students recently took second place in the fifth annual Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Region 8 International Student Competition. Kelly Williams and Carlye Cunningham were challenged to assume the role of contractor in the refurbishment of a 114-year-old building in Liverpool, England. Eleven teams from 11 universities, representing four countries, gathered at Liverpool John Moores University on Nov. 10 to create solutions to the competition prompt. Williams and Cunningham competed in a joint team, partnered with two students from the Czech Technical University in Prague. The teams were pressed to develop a plan for a six-story hotel tenant improvement project. Following the initial presentation, the judges deliberated and called back the top four teams for a question-and-answer session about the project. “The 20-minute interview portion was a great experience in thinking through difficult questions and answering on the spot in front of a crowd,” Williams said. “To prepare, we studied examples of management systems from various construction companies and had frequent Skype meetings with our teammates from Prague to exchange research findings and discuss strategy.” Read more here.

New Book and Learning Circles Planned for Winter Quarter
Employee and Organization Development has announced its Winter 2018 Book and Learning Circles. Book Circles has been expanded to include discussions related to videos, articles and online courses, known as Learning Circles. These different options are intended to address employees’ varied learning styles and provide opportunities that encourage open sharing, exploration and discourse.
Book Circles: The Winter 2018 Book Circles involve reading a book over the course of three sessions. The first book, “3 Keys to Defeating Unconscious Bias” by Sondra Thiederman, is designed to motivate real change. Thiederman uses insightful anecdotes and creative activities to deliver a simple strategy — watch, think, act — that we can immediately apply to the task of overcoming the impact of unconscious bias. The second book, “Smarter Faster Better” by Charles Duhigg, explores eight different productivity hacks used by successful organizations and how they can make a difference to your business, management, and personal life. The third book, “Nonviolent Communication” by Marshall B. Rosenberg, describes a style of communication that allows us to be very honest, hear others even in disagreement and move toward solutions that work for all without any criticism and without any intellectual diagnosis implying wrongness. Participants will receive a print copy of the book, with some books available as e-books and audiobooks.
Learning Circles: The Winter 2018 Learning Circles involve watching a video and participating in a discussion during a single lunchtime session. Session topics include leadership, diversity and inclusion, and happiness at work. Participants are welcome to join one or all sessions for an insightful and rich discussion. Participants will receive materials in advance of live sessions. To view a full description and register to attend, visit the Book and Learning Circles website.

Learn About Managing Holiday Madness
While many of us find comfort in our holiday rituals, like spending time with loved ones and enjoying social events, there are aspects of the holiday season that can leave us feeling less than festive. To cope with these feelings requires some introspection and planning. Join Employee and Organization Development as we share a webinar from 11 a.m. to noon Thursday, Dec. 7, from our Employee Assistance Provider (EAP), Empathia, focused on "Managing Holiday Madness." In this webinar, participants will come to better understand their holiday stress and acquire stress management tools to help them embrace the holidays rather than dread them. Register on Skillsoft.

Make the most of the beautiful campus we work on, grab a colleague and meet up with Provost Kathleen Enz Finken for her Wednesday Walks.

In 1984 she joined a small team supporting faculty personnel administration within the campus personnel office, shortly after implementation of the inaugural 1983 faculty collective bargaining agreement. During her tenure, Academic Personnel’s staffing has more than tripled. For the last several years, Johnson has served as the staff supervisor for academic employment. She has had a tremendous impact developing efficient business processes to serve our campus, including the academic employment processes for International, Graduate and Extended Education. Her retirement plans include extended RV road trips throughout the Pacific Northwest with her husband and enjoying the four seasons and outdoor lifestyle of central Oregon, where they hope to relocate. A retirement reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, in the fourth floor "living room" of the Baker Center (No. 180).
Anita West unofficially became part of the Cal Poly family in 1968 when her father, John West, began his tenure as the associate dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences and moved the family to California from Stillwater, Oklahoma. West began her studies at Cal Poly in 1981, and worked on campus as a student assistant for El Corral Bookstore. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and her master’s degree in education in 1993. Over the next several years, West held various roles, including supporting and automating the provisioning of student e-mail accounts, supporting the call tracking systems, serving as an inaugural member of the Information Technology Services (ITS) Service Desk, and teaching introductory classes on Unix. For the past 10 years, West has developed expertise in telephone services and related billing, served countless faculty and staff members, and supported telephone logistics for many new buildings and major staff moves. She will miss working with her customers and ITS colleagues, but she is looking forward to spending time with her family. West’s last day will be Friday, Dec. 15. Faculty and staff are invited to a reception in her honor from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 14, in Engineering West (No. 21), Room 105A (KTGY Gallery).

He is passionate about helping people and has served as a customer service mentor for many generations of Cal Poly student-employees, embodying the Learn by Doing ethos.
