Bill and Adele Jonas Center Construction, Indian Valley Campus

Construction and Communication

It was wonderful to see everyone at the

Spring Convocation. The spring semester is

well underway and the Measure B Capital

Projects continue to improve our campuses.

In preparation for the construction of the new

Learning Resource Center (LRC), the

majority of the offices and classroom moves

took place before the holiday break. I want

to thank everyone who worked tirelessly during the

transition and ensured that our facilities were ready for the

return of our students. Additionally, the architects will be

back in February, March, and April, for forums on the LRC/

Student Services Project Design Process. See page 2 for

LRC forum dates, and I hope you can join one of the

sessions. The table below shows the remaining moves still

needed to get the building fully vacated. Thank you for your

continued patience and cooperation as we improve our

College infrastructure.

Fiscal Update

In December, the auditors completed the District’s annual

financial reports without any findings. I want to commend the

Fiscal Services staff for their diligence in meeting our

financial obligations and keeping our accounting records in

compliance.

Sadly, we lost our long-time colleague, Doris Tucker, in

January. Doris served in the District as Senior Payroll

Specialist. We were fortunate to have worked with a

dedicated and hard-working employee like Doris. She

touched so many lives in our College community during the

last 37 years, and she will surely be missed. Read more on

page 5.

Internal Event Facility Request Form

Aside from planning, communication is key in order to make

an event successful. Event coordinators must now complete

the internal event facility form at the beginning of their

planning process. By submitting the form, our division

receives the necessary details in order to identify staff and

resources needed to support your events prior, during and

even after. Read how to plan an internal event on page 14.

Read Ahead

Please read the rest of this newsletter to be updated with

Measure B projects, COM Wellness program, important

deadlines from Human Resources, upcoming move of

College Services department, and more about the

Administrative Services Division.

I hope you find this information useful in your daily

operations, and I wish you a strong spring semester!

Capital Projects

Measure B Bond Projects

We’ve had a very busy Fall in Capital Projects with ongoing construction projects at

both campuses and planning the moves in preparation for the LRC Building abatement

and demolition.

At the Kentfield Campus, construction at the Maintenance and Operations building is

progressing and will continue with estimated completion in April 2020.

Fusselman Hall 120, Kentfield Campus

Capital Projects

continued

We anticipate the M&O staff will be

moving into their new facility next

month (photo on right). The

Fusselman Hall project started in

December and will continue into

Spring 2020 with anticipated

completion in April 2020. The

portables located at the center of

campus and along Circle Drive

have been completed and are now

in use. Thanks to faculty, students

& staff for their patience and

understanding during this time of

transition. During the Fall, we

moved quite a few groups out of the LRC and into the new portables and into the

Student Services building. Thanks again for everyone’s patience as we continue

to clear our the LRC of the remaining groups. The moves are all needed to allow

us to begin abatement of the LRC in April and demolition of the building starting in

June of this year.

In January, the LRC Building Architectural & Engineering firm began the

engagement process with faculty, staff, students and the Community. The

Architectural & Engineering firm is working on finalizing the building program so

that they can begin the building design process. They will be back on campus

from February 19

through February 21

. More information will be posted and

sent out once the times/locations are finalized. More information is also

forthcoming regarding presentations on the scheduled abatement & demolition of

the LRC.

At the Indian Valley Campus, we have the Miwok Center under construction with

an estimated completion date of Spring of 2021. The Jonas Center project

continues with an estimated completion date of August 2020. An IVC Open House

is tentatively planned for October 2020 which will incorporate the grand opening of

the Jonas Center. More information to come.

Thank you for all your patience as we work to improve our campus. Feel free to

contact Isidro Farias, Director of Capital Projects, at ifarias@marin.edu should you

have any questions or need more information about the Measure B projects.

Biometric

Health

Screenings

The SISC Health Smarts

Biometric Screening Program

is coming in March/April 2020.

This free program is available

to all employees as well as

spouses and dependents over

the age of 18. All eligible SISC

members also receive a

financial award, as explained

below. Non-SISC members

will receive the screening only.

Know Your Numbers

The SISC Health Smarts

biometric screening measures

your blood pressure,

cholesterol, glucose, and

other important health-risk

indicators. The screening is

provided onsite and takes less

than 15 minutes. Your results,

along with an explanation of

what they mean for your

health status, will be

immediately available online.

You can even track your year-

to-year progress if you’ve

participated in prior screening

events. Your test results are

completely confidential;

nobody at your school or in

your district will have access

to the results. However, you

certainly are encouraged to

print out your results to share

with your doctor. Many past

participants have commented

about how beneficial the

screenings have been,

alerting them to previously

unknown health issues that

are most easily controlled

when discovered early. Some

have even said that their

screening provided lifesaving

information.

SISC Members earn

financial awards

All SISC Members who make

an appointment and

participate in the screening

will receive a $25

Amazon.com Gift Card

(code). One out of every 50

SISC Members who are

screened with an appointment

Fiscal Services

In Memory of Doris Tucker

The Fiscal Services Family would like to

thank all of you for your kindness and

caring support after the tremendous loss

of our long-time family member, friend and

colleague, Doris Tucker. Doris began her

long career in May 1983 and served the

District for over 37 years. Although we will

be grieving for some time, your very

thoughtful cards, gestures, and kind words

have helped us get by, and are very much

appreciated. In honor and memory of

Doris who we will always love and miss,

we wanted to share some of the

comments we have recently received

about Doris:

Doris was dedicated to the College and to

her job for over half of her life…. Everyone

knew Doris.

I have such fond memories and

tremendous respect for Doris. I learned

so much from her. I know this is a huge

loss for the College of Marin.

Doris was a great person.

Doris was pragmatic, reliable, honest,

caring and more. She definitely had a

calming influence, particularly during any

payroll crisis. She was not only a rock

solid co-worker, but also a very good

person and friend.

Doris is no longer with us but will never be

forgotten.

…such a valued staff member like Doris.

May you find solace in the memories of

fun times and her payroll wisdom legacy.

Doris will be missed by many.

Doris touched so many of our lives

through her kind, calm and patient

efficiency as she went about her work at

the College.

Losing Doris is like losing a family

member.

Doris was a great lady.

Doris has been nothing short of

phenomenal. She’s been a joy to work

with from my interactions with her.

Doris was one of a kind and I really liked

her…

Many employees (now retired) loved

Doris.

She will be truly missed.

In honor of Doris, the Fiscal Services

Family will be making personal donations

to the Advancement Office perhaps for a

bench or a commemorative item at the

Indian Valley Campus. Contributions are

welcomed.

College Services

Moving Day is here

The big day is upon us! Like many departments, College Services will be moving

to brand new locations this spring at 941 Sir Francis Drake and the new

Maintenance and Operations building. We want to update you on the latest

changes and news regarding all the moves so that we can minimize any

interruption in services. We anticipate very limited operations during the move, so

planning around this disruption will be extremely important.

Planning ahead is key!

If you have any graphic design, event promotion, or print projects with specific

deadlines in March, it’s important to notify us in advance as far as possible so we

can assist you in planning around our move dates. If at all possible, please try to

avoid deadlines during the month of March as that will be the prime time of the

various moves.

Feel free to call or email us well in advance of your anticipated needs so that we

can perhaps work together to complete your project prior to the move dates or

schedule it for the weeks after. We will do everything we can to assist with jobs,

however, please know that during the transition time, last minute rushes and

emergency jobs may be delayed if not previously scheduled.

Who’s Going Where?

Every department in College Services will be moving at some point in the next few

weeks.

Creative Services:

The first phase will likely entail moving the Creative Services team: the two

Graphic Design Specialists (Dave Mahoney and Roger Dormann), the Senior

Creative/Lead Web Designer (Shook Chung), and the Director (Annie Ricciuti)

from their various offices in the Learning Resources Center into the beautiful new

space at 941 Sir Francis Drake. This is likely scheduled to occur sometime the

week of March 9

. We hope to be up and running in a couple of days after the

moves, if all goes as planned, but again we do anticipate some service disruptions

so please be aware this may affect any pending projects during that time.

How will the

College Services

Move Affect You?

Change always requires adapting

to new ways of being and doing

and it’s understandable that our

new locations will definitely take

some getting used to! However,

we will still be available and ready

to assist you with all your design,

print, receiving and mailing service

needs.

For the first time ever, the Director,

Designers and Print Services will

all be under one roof! We are

excited to continue our productive

but always fun environment and

we’d of course love to see

everyone! Please feel free to come

by and check out our new location

or drop in to say hi anytime. We

will continue to offer the same

friendly faces, helpful service and

quality jobs you’ve come to expect

and we look forward to inviting

everyone to an Open House once

we are settled in.

Copy Projects and Mail

We anticipate all services to

continue as usual once we are

fully up and running.

As a courtesy, we will offer twice

daily drop off of completed copy

jobs to the Kentfield Mail Room, in

the morning and then mid to later

afternoon. Mail services will

continue as is, and there will be

locations in the new Mail Room to

drop off outgoing first-class mail,

which will be processed as usual

each afternoon. Interoffice mail will

be distributed in the new Mail

Room in the afternoon as well.

For larger projects and mailings,

please contact us at 415-485-9447

and we will be happy to arrange

delivery or distribution as needed.

New Office for College Services—941 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Kentfield

How will the

College

Services Move

Affect You?

Receiving and

Packages

Large deliveries and

package receipt will continue

as usual for the time being,

until the opening of the new

M&O building. At that time,

we will communicate any

relevant changes and

update everyone on the

most current information

regarding how the move will

affect any services in this

area. The courier run

between campuses will also

continue as usual. Please

feel free to call or connect

with us regarding any of the

moves, any questions you

have or to plan ahead of the

anticipated March dates. We

are here to help and look

forward to welcoming

everyone to our new home!

College Services

continued

Print Services

Print Services (Reprographics) will also be located at 941 Sir Francis Drake. This will

be the most complex and time-consuming move as there are many and varied logistics

involved in moving all the equipment, supplies, paper stock, shelving and work spaces.

We anticipate the move for Print Services to begin on March 16

and continue

throughout that week, as it will take several days to breakdown, move and reinstall the

equipment, and to unpack and organize the new space.

Printing and copying services will be extremely limited the week of March 16-20.

We plan for the smoothest transition possible, however please be aware that during

this time, we will do our best to accommodate all print requests but will require

patience, flexibility and possibly more time than usual due to the move.

Mailroom

The current Mail Room in the LRC will

be moving as well during the spring.

The new location will be in the AC 255

Atrium, just behind the large classroom.

Prior to the move, please pickup your

mail and have your mailbox cleaned out

as much as possible to help insure that

the move goes smoothly and mail is

secure. The Atrium will have the same

key pad/code as the current mail room

and is also accessible by key fobs. We

will announce any relevant move/

closure dates as soon as possible.

Receiving

The Receiving office and loading dock will remain for the present in the current

Maintenance and Operations building at 120 Kent Avenue. However, when the new

Maintenance and Operations building is completed in the spring, Receiving will be

relocated to the new warehouse at that location. Stay tuned for more details and dates

to come soon.

Unplugging

From Social

Media on

Vacation? It’s

Tough at First

Taking a vacation from

social media and digital

technology while you travel

can cause withdrawal

symptoms, but a small study

suggests you’ll come to

enjoy the offline experience.

The British study included

24 people. During their

travels to 17 countries and

regions, most unplugged

from technologies such as

mobile phones, laptops,

tablets, social media and

navigation tools for more

than 24 hours. Their

reactions before, during and

after their “digital detox”

were gathered through

diaries and interviews.

Many had initial anxiety,

frustration and withdrawal

symptoms, but then

increased levels of

acceptance, enjoyment and

even liberation, according to

the study published Aug. 14

in the Journal of Travel

Research.

“Many people are

increasingly getting tired of

constant connections

through technologies and

there is a growing trend for

digital-free tourism, so it is

helpful to see the emotional

journey that these travelers

are experiencing,” said lead

author Wenjie Cai, a lecturer

at the University of

Greenwich in London.

or rehabilitation program.

As a condition of employment, employees must notify the District within five calendar

days of any conviction for violating a criminal drug statute while in the workplace.

The District is required to inform any agencies that require this drug free policy within

ten days after receiving notice of a workplace drug conviction.

Counseling and Treatment

If you are in need, drug or alcohol counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation, or re-entry

programs or referrals are available to employees or students. The District provides

confidential referrals through an ANTHEM Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for

employees and their families needing assistance with drug or alcohol abuse (800-

999-7222).

Unplugging From

Social Media...

Researchers said there is growing

demand for digital detox holidays.

“Our participants reported that they

not only engaged more with other

travelers and locals during their

disconnected travels, but that they

also spent more time with their

travel companions,” Cai said in a

journal news release.

The findings could be important for

travel companies seeking to

develop off-the-grid vacation

packages, according to study co-

author Brad McKenna, a lecturer

at the University of East Anglia’s

Norwich Business School.

“Understanding what triggers

consumers’ negative and positive

emotions can help service

providers to improve products and

marketing strategies,” he said in

the news release. “The trips our

travelers took varied in terms of

lengths and types of destinations,

which provides useful insights into

various influencing factors on

emotions.”

McKenna noted that some

participants enjoyed being offline

right away or after a brief

adjustment, and others took longer

to accept it.

“Many also pointed out that they

were much more attentive and

focused on their surroundings

while disconnected, rather than

getting distracted by incoming

messages, notifications or alerts

from their mobile apps,” he added.

However, the study found there

was a downside: Many participants

were overwhelmed when they saw

all the incoming messages and

notifications received while they

were away.

Banner Student System Challenges

As you may be aware, we

recently experienced a

failure in the Banner SIS

system causing the “Add

Authorization Codes”

function to break. That error was due to

the installation of a wrong customization

patch. Although we quickly corrected

the mistake, it had caused disruptions

for a couple hours. We will be holding

ourselves to a higher level of diligence

going forward!

Police

New Police Cadets

This semester we are

pleased to be joined by

two new police cadets.

Please say hello to

Ogyen and Mason the

next time you see them

on campus. Ogyen

Tembay (photo above) is currently

majoring in Business Administration, with

a focus in accounting. He plans on

transferring to a four-year university to

continue his degree. Before attending

College of Marin, Ogyen came to campus

for a tour and really liked it, and many of

his friends were going to attend as well, so

he saw it as a perfect fit. Growing up,

Ogyen always wanted to be a police

officer. For him, working as a Cadet will be

the perfect opportunity to gain experience

in law enforcement and be prepared for

his career goal. Outside of work, Ogyen

likes to spend time with friends and family.

He also enjoys playing video games,

football and cooking.

Mason Marotta is also

a student at COM

pursuing a degree in

Administration of

Justice. He would love

to either transfer to a

CSU, or go directly into

the police academy.

Mason came to College of Marin because

he believes that it offers the same

services and educational opportunities

that universities do, but without the high

associated cost. Sergeant Dustin Ruiz

came to his class for a presentation about

the Cadet program, and Mason was

immediately interested. He thought, what

better way to acclimate himself with the

culture of the job than actually taking a job

with a police department! Outside of work,

Mason enjoys watching hockey and tries

to go to the gym at least four times a

week. He also likes to unwind at the end

of the day either with video games or

watching TV.

Parking Reminders

The College’s parking regulations apply

365 days a year unless otherwise noted.

Illegally parked vehicles can be cited and/

or towed, even if the class is not in

session. Read all signs and road markings

carefully. Be sure to park only in a marked

stall, clearly display your permit, and lock

your vehicle.

Parking permits are required Monday

through Saturday (except school holidays)

even if a class is not in session.

Maintenance and Operations

New Location

Aside from completing current projects and attending to work orders, everyone in

our department is busy getting ready for our upcoming move to the new

Maintenance and Operations building and District Warehouse. We have years of

inventory and files to organize as we get ready for our move. The construction is

estimated for completion in April 2020. I want to thank the entire M&O team for

working diligently before the holiday break to assist the departments who have

moved to swing space in preparation for the construction of the new Learning

Resources Center. To prepare for the relocation of the Campus Bookstore in the

current District warehouse, a few of my staff including myself, will be temporarily

housed in the Learning Resource Center. Thank you so much your patience and

cooperation during this time of transition.

School Dude Reminder

Please be reminded to use the School Dude app to log any maintenance

requests, including problems with electronic door locks (SecureALL).

New employee key requests must still be accompanied by the key fob

request signed by the appropriate department head or manager (link to

form is available at Maintenance and Operations website). In an emergency,

Campus Police can assist with letting you into a locked room; please call Dispatch

at (415) 485-9696 or ext. 7696 from a District phone. If you do not have access to

School Dude, please report the issue with as much detail as possible to your

Department Administrative Assistant who can log the request.

Please do not email Maintenance & Operations staff with requests as they are

often "in the field" and your email may not be seen in a timely manner. The School

Dude queue is checked several times daily and requests routed, so it should be

used for all Maintenance and Facilities requests. If you have questions about

School Dude, please contact Maridel Barr, Administrative Assistant for

Maintenance & Operations, via email at mbarr@marin.edu, or ext. 7451.

U-Key Request Form

Please use the key-request form for all new key holders. Please fill

out this form to receive the requested keys before your new

employees arrive. Download U-Key request form at the

Maintenance and Operations website and refer to U-Key

Information Sheet for user guideline.

Roasted Root

Veggies Make a

Hearty Winter

Soup

Dense root vegetables such as

sweet potatoes and parsnips

benefit from roasting. They

sweeten as they cook, making

for healthy comfort food during

cold winter months.

Follow these general steps

for any hard vegetables:

Start by cutting them into

uniform pieces, so they’ll

roast and brown evenly.

(Otherwise, you can end

up with either burnt or

under cooked pieces.)

Next, toss the vegetables

in a healthy cooking oil like

olive oil, and sprinkle

lightly with salt, which

helps to bring out their

sweetness.

Line a baking sheet with

parchment paper to

prevent sticking. Then

spread the vegetables

evenly so that all pieces

will brown at the same

rate. Roast in a preheated

400-degree oven for about

45 minutes or until tender.

The high temperature is

key to bringing out the

sweet flavor – plus it gets

dinner on the table faster.

Serve roasted veggies

as a side dish instead of

pasta or white rice with

your favorite protein like

chicken, or blend with

broth for this fast and

rich- tasting soup to

take the chill off a cold

evening.

Key

Departments

Working on

Events

Whether you are planning

for a small or big event, the

following departments often

collaborate to make your

event a success. Other

special events may require

more coordination with

additional departments on

campus.

Please remember to reach

out to them as soon as you

begin the planning process.

Welcome back and happy spring

semester!

We are already a few weeks into the

semester, and events and facility use has

been in full swing. As we all navigate

through this semester with the moves and

construction, communication will be

really important among all of us, especially

when hosting events, speakers and even

regular meetings.

Did you know that when planning any

event on campus, there are at least eight

people across seven different

departments that are involved in making

that event happen? This is why it is

imperative that communication happens

often and early.

How to Plan an Internal Event

1. Fill out the Internal Event Facility

Request form. See last page of

newsletter to download the PDF form.

2. Contact Lindsay Bacigalupi for initial

meeting.

3. For printing requests, contact College

Services.

4. Submit work orders via School Dude.

5. Identify budget source. Any custodial

overtimes must be paid by the

department requesting the service.

Please make sure you are submitting your

facility use requests early through

Facilitron and your work orders through

SchoolDude. We want to make sure ALL

campus events are scheduled,

coordinated and on the Facilitron

calendar. The more details of the event

you can provide, the more we are able to

assist you. It is wonderful to bring our

community together, so if there is anything

I can do to assist, please let me know.

Conference Rooms and

Classrooms

As you plan ahead this semester, please

understand that space and facility

availability at the Kentfield Campus will be

limited due to current construction

projects. Please consider hosting your

meeting or event at the Indian Valley

Campus. There are many renovated

buildings and classrooms available to you.

Please send your request early.

Because space is limited, it is important

when using conference rooms that we are

all mindful of our scheduled use times and

who might be coming in after us. Terry

Brown and myself are here to assist you,

so if you would like the conference room

longer, or if you no longer need the space,

please inform us. Also, please be

reminded that AC 217 is a restricted

conference room. The only meetings that

are allowed to be scheduled in that room

are meetings that include Cabinet

Members.

If there is anything I can assist you with,

please let me know.

I hope you have a wonderful semester!
