Payroll & Position Budgeting/Control Functions Moving to the Business Office
Beginning September 1, 2020 the Payroll and Position Budgeting and Control functions for the University have moved to the Business Office. Operationally the responsibilities of these areas have not changed, only the reporting structure. This change will allow the Human Resources staff to focus on employee recruitment, retention, and other HR priorities that enhance the employee experience. It will also create efficiencies with the funds disbursement process of Payroll. Please note that all payroll checks for both employees and students will now be available at the Business Office cashier windows for pick-up. Payroll questions should still be directed to Payroll Manager, Gaile Palmer and all position budgeting questions should now be directed to Budget Director, Terri McWilliams.

Student Engagement ALC
More than ever before, college and university instructors are faced with a challenge of student engagement. In the traditional face-to-face classroom, instructor questions are often met with silence. In the online classroom, student passivity is revealed in a variety of ways: silence in Zoom video conferencing, lack of iLearn login, failure to submit assignments and limited words in a discussion board threads.
There are many suggested ways to encourage active participation in the higher ed classroom, face-to-face and online. This ALC will share some research that shows the results of student engagement activities along with effective methods for enhancing student engagement in your courses.
Find out more about current ALCs and register to participate! Contact the CITL with any questions at CITL@tntech.edu.
