UPDATE to PeopleAdmin Login Process
PeopleAdmin has been recently updated to use single sign-on authentication in line with the University’s mission to make access to external software programs easier for the campus community. What does this mean? Well, if you access PeopleAdmin directly through the IDme Express portal, no extra login will be required. You will bypass the normal PeopleAdmin login screen and be taken into PeopleAdmin immediately. If instead you decide to visit the PeopleAdmin website directly, there will be a link at the top labeled “Employees click here to login” that will allow you to use your TTU domain username and password to login. Your PeopleAdmin username and password will now match your TTU domain username and password, so no extra passwords to remember. If you visit PeopleAdmin, you will see these changes have already taken effect. We hope this will make your PeopleAdmin experience better. If you have any questions or issues, please let us know.

TTU Native Plant Garden needs your help!
The TTU Native Plant Garden is in need of a weed-intervention! Due to the COVID-19 transition to online last spring, we didn’t have any students or volunteers to help with weeding and working in the garden. The garden really needs help and we want to make it look as nice as possible before students return. Now that the summer heat is beginning to wane, it’s not as bad to work in the garden. If you are available to volunteer, we would be extremely appreciative. Social distancing and mask guidelines will be observed for all volunteers to ensure everyone’s safety.
There are two ways to become involved:
-
- If you are TTU faculty or staff: from within MS Outlook, look for “groups” and search for TTU Native Plant Garden and join the group mailing list. You can unsubscribe at any time, but I will send emails through this group for volunteer days and update the calendar.
If you are a student or know a community member that wants to help: you can email me at skrosnick@tntech.edu and I will add you to this list.
Thank you so much!
Shawn Zeringue-Krosnick
