VU Food Pantry Volunteers Needed: Campus Ministry in collaboration with the nutrition and dietetics interns stock the food pantries on campus every week and are looking for some volunteers to help with this process. This would occur on Tuesdays at 9:45 a.m. and last up to an hour. Campus Ministry is also looking for volunteers, students or staff, that would be willing to help make to-go meals/food for students. Fill out this survey if interested in volunteering for either of these opportunities. http://viterbo.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7US4ABrgvwxYCXQ

Employees: The form for requesting access to data/reports/document management/IIT systems for your specific work area has been updated. The link for this form is found on the IIT sharepoint/website or can be found by logging into etcentral.viterbo.edu. The request process still goes to the supervisor for the employee that needs access, as well as the data steward for the information requested. Both parties will need to approve this request prior to any action being taken by IIT to grant access/create reports. Supervisors and data stewards will approve/deny access using the form in the Etrieve Inbox. When a request has been made an email will be sent from the Etrieve system indicating a form is ready for your action. If you have questions/concerns, contact IIT.
