Announcements 

The PSSO board will be hosting a town hall listening session for all hourly staff where you'll have an opportunity to express any concerns, ideas, or feedback that you want us to bring to senior leaders and answer any questions you might have about past meetings. This townhall will be set up similarly to those the president hosted last fall. We want to hear from you! The session will be held on Wednesday, March 25 at 12 p.m. in 3016 Waldo Library. You are welcome to bring your concerns and questions with you to the townhall, or you can complete our questionnaire. Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
