Exceptions to the hiring freeze will be limited to mission-critical positions defined as those that ensure university safety, compliance, and support the core mission.

As summer draws to a close and children start heading back to school, family life can get pretty hectic. It's important to remember – and share with your children – some key tips that will help keep them safe and healthy throughout the school year.
Transportation Safety Tips:
Whether children walk, ride their bicycle, or take the bus to school, it is extremely important that they take proper safety precautions. Here are some tips to make sure your child safely travels to school:
Walkers
Review your family's walking safety rules and practice walking to school with your child.
Walk on the sidewalk, if one is available; when on a street with no sidewalk, walk facing the traffic.
Before you cross the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming.
Make eye contact with drivers before crossing and always cross streets at crosswalks or intersections.
Stay alert and avoid distracted walking.
Back in 1995, children ages 5 to 9 were more at risk than any other age group under 19 for being struck by a vehicle while walking. Today, there has been a noticeable demographic shift. It is now much more likely a teenager will be hit by a car than his younger counterpart.
According to Injury Facts, over all age groups since 2009, pedestrian fatalities have trended up sharply, totaling 6,516 traffic-related deaths in 2020.
Bike Riders
Teach your child the rules of the road and practice riding the bike route to school with your child.
Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, and in a single file
Come to a complete stop before crossing the street; walk bikes across the street.
Stay alert and avoid distracted riding.
Make sure your child always wears a properly fitted helmet and bright clothing.
Cell Phones: A Deadly Distraction:
The National Safety Council is focused on efforts to eliminate distracted walking – specifically walking while using a mobile device. Kids often don't recognize the dangers of distracted walking, as this eye-opening video by Safe Kids Worldwide indicates.
Before your children head out, remind them of these year-round safety tips:
Never walk while texting or talking on the phone
If texting, move out of the way of others and stop on the sidewalk.
Never cross the street while using an electronic device
Do not walk with headphones in your ears.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Always walk on the sidewalk if one is available; if you must walk on the street, face oncoming traffic.
Look left, right, then left again before crossing the street.
Cross only at crosswalks
Kids Aren't the Only Ones Distracted
Drivers have a lot to pay attention to in school zones, too, and there is never an occasion that justifies using a phone while driving. One call or text can change everything.
A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention reveals that the most common form of travel to school for students age 5 to 14 is the family car. That translates into a lot of cars in school zones at the same time. Eliminating all distractions is key to keeping children safe. Learn more about motorist safety around schools.
Employees and Departments/Groups of Employees can be nominated for different awards. The awards are presented monthly during the Staff Senate meetings.
Please consider nominating a staff member or group who has demonstrated excellence. It’s time to show our colleagues how much we appreciate what they do and why we’re so very proud to be Lopers!!
