    We also have a new Self–Service Password Reset available to make it easier for you to change your password. If you forget your AU email/ network password, you can reset it. However, you must sign up for this service and provide an alternate email address or phone number. It is recommended that you sign up soon after you activate your email account. To reset a forgotten password, you can visit the AU Webmail login page and click "Can't Access Your Account," or "Forgot my Password."

    Remember to make sure your password is at least 10 characters long and includes at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, special character and/or number. Try not to include personal information or dates in it so that it can't be easily guessed.

    Did you know that Alfred University Human Resources provides an EAP for employees?

    What is an EAP? An employee assistance program (EAP) is a work-based intervention program designed to assist employees in resolving personal problems that may be adversely affecting the employee's performance. EAPs traditionally have assisted workers with issues like alcohol or substance abuse; however, most now cover a broad range of issues such as child or elder care, relationship challenges, financial or legal problems, wellness matters and traumatic events like workplace violence. Programs are delivered at no cost to employees by stand-alone EAP vendors or providers who are part of comprehensive health insurance plans. Services are often delivered via phone, video-based counseling, online chatting, e-mail interactions or face-to-face.

    As of Tuesday, January 15 our new EAP provider is NexGen EAP. Please see the attached documents for further information on how to use these services. This program is completely free and confidential for all employees. To take advantage of these benefits, please visit the website www.nexgeneap.com to register for an account today or call 800-EAP-CALL.

    Winter weather conditions like ice and snow can increase the chances of slips and falls, in addition to other safety concerns, so the office of Environmental Health and Safety would like to remind all Saxons to stay safe this winter. We remind you to dress warmly and wear the appropriate attire, and, when appropriate, walk like a penguin. It may sound silly, but short, shuffled steps can decrease your chances of slipping. Be sure to download a copy of our Walk Like A Penguin poster to post in your area. Also, checkout the additional recommended links for staying safe in the cold.

    Be a Human Book or Human Reader at the Human Library Event!

    Wednesday, January 23 @ Herrick Library
    Stop by between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm

    Check out "Books" on topics like Depression, Agnostic, Veteran, Biracial Adoptee, Alopecia (Hair Loss) and Others!

    The "Human Library" at Alfred University is a collaboration between the University Libraries and the Institute for Cultural Unity (ICU) and plays off the idea that readers engage in dialogue with books, which they check out from a library. In the Human Library, the Books are participants who select the subject matter and title they will represent. They are the resources which will be utilized by Readers.

    Readers are event attendees, who can select a Book (based on title and description) to "check out." Checking out a Book entails engaging in a one-on-one conversation for a short period of time (usually 15 minutes) which focuses on the Book's title. The context of the event provides a safe and judgment-free time and place for Readers to ask questions they may not feel comfortable expressing in other situations and for Books to share themselves and their experiences.

    The Alfred University community is full of individuals with unique identities, experiences, and stories to tell. The Human Library provides a forum in which participants can embrace the variety of individuals who make Alfred the "magical" place it is. Rather than having community members feel a need to assimilate in order to fit in, we want to celebrate difference while also finding the "common ground" which brings our community together.

    Our keynote speaker for this year is Mr. Steve Prince, Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Muscarelle Museum of Art and Director of Engagement at the College of William and Mary in Virginia. Mr. Prince is an artist born and raised in New Orleans, LA who combines spirituality, history, humor, and musical performance art to both entertain and educate audiences about social justice, community, and civic responsibility to one another and the broader community. The title of his Keynote presentation is "The Great Commission". Mr. Prince is an award winning artist who is the subject of a year long course at SUNY Geneseo based upon his art and social action work which will culminate in a published book within the next year. His work is widely regarded by both civic and academic colleagues, where he has been invited to produce works for municipalities, churches, and schools. Samples of his work can be found on the Eyekons Gallery website.

    The evening dinner event will begin with a presentation and keynote by Steve Prince and be followed by a communal dinner and will include members of the Alfred community who volunteered in the day of service and our community partners.

    As of Monday, Jan 14, we had 3200 pairs of shoes for the Navajo Water Project!! We surpassed our goal of 2500 pairs by a large amount, thanks to the incredible generosity of the greater Alfred community. If you still have shoes, we will take them for a few more days, but those 3200 pairs will bring us $1280 for the Navajo Water Project. In the next week or two we will have the final tally of what we raised for the project, but we estimate it will be something just over $10,000, which is more than enough money to provide two homes on the reservation with clean, running water. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    If you still have shoes you are dying to get rid of, email me at fhluchy@alfred.edu or bring them to the Science Center. We have left that collection box there in the second floor lobby.
