The first TNT of the academic year was held online Tuesday.
TNT, all-campus information sessions, will unfold in a variety of settings and formats. These are important venues, whether in person or virtual, to share timely information with the full campus. Employees are encouraged to join these sessions and bring questions, comments, and announcements for the good of the campus community.
Traverso discussed important updates on enrollment, capital projects, budget and health and safety will be provided along with an opportunity for announcements about campus events and programs.
In September, there will be two special in-person TNTs to Introduce “The Tomcat Way,” the new development model for student success and leadership at Thiel. The first of these special TNTs, on Sept. 7, is designed for faculty participation. The second session on September 14 will be presented for staff. Faculty and staff may attend either, but presentations at each session will be focused for the intended audience.
After September, there will be monthly TNTs. At this point, those sessions are scheduled alternating between in-person and remote, subject to change depending on health and safety protocols.
The Rite Aid Flu Shot Clinic is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Rudisill Room of the Howard Miller Student Center.
Anyone wishing to participate in the clinic should register through the online signup and bring a copy of his or her insurance card to present to the Rite Aid representative. BCBS Highmark insurance will cover 100% of the cost of the flu shot. Deductibles will not apply. Employees with other insurance should check with their provider to see if the shot will be covered.

Communications collateral
Employees should update the logos used on institutional materials, including email signatures, letterhead, PowerPoint slides, etc.

Email signatures, brand resources, and a job request form are all available online. A Dropbox folder has been set up with instructions and the materials necessary to create new email signatures. Employees can find other Thiel College-branded resources including letterhead, logos and PowerPoint slides in the same folder.
Thiel College community members who need help with communications and marketing initiatives and collateral can now request those services with a job form. The request form is available on the communications and marketing webpage or linked directly below.

Both off-campus locations are within a couple of miles from campus. Drivers will use a College vehicle and be compensated at an hourly rate, and we need drivers for hours within the 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. range (Monday through Friday) and a smaller range on weekends (potentially through the month of September). This opportunity is open to employees interested in making extra money outside their normal hours, students, or community members.
