University Health Services flu shot clinics will open on September 13. Everyone should be vaccinated annually. Getting vaccinated helps protect each of us in addition to limiting the spread of influenza. Flu shots are available at no cost through December 8 at multiple campus locations and various times of day. Appointments are encouraged but not required. Employees should bring their insurance card to the clinic for drop-in appointments. Employees without proof of insurance will still receive a flu shot at no cost. To view the list of available dates, times, and locations, and to schedule an appointment, go to uhs.wisc.edu/medical/flu-shots.

The University Roundtable will be hosting monthly luncheons featuring speakers from the UW‒Madison community. All programs will be held in Varsity Hall at Union South from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fall sessions are scheduled for October 26, November 16, and December 14. Advance registration for each event is required. The sessions are open to all members of the university community and their guests.

UW‒Madison has partnered with University Research Park (URP) and international design firm Perkins & Will to develop a district plan for the west side of campus. This effort is part of the University’s larger revenue innovations initiative that seeks to identify compelling revenue opportunities that fund the core academic, research, and outreach mission. The design team will host two informational sessions on the project next week: Wednesday, Sept. 14, 7 ‒ 8 p.m. at the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC) room 1345, and Thursday, Sept. 15, 3:30 ‒ 4:40 p.m. at HSLC room 1325. The Sept. 14 session is for the wider community and the Sept. 15 session is for campus, but members of the campus community are encouraged to attend whichever session best fits their schedule.

Employees who are currently paid over nine months (also known as “C-basis” employees) will receive a partial biweekly paycheck on Sept. 8, 2022, that will include pay for the period of August 22‒August 27. The number of paychecks received in a year and the pay periods represented are based on an employee’s contract dates; 2022‒23 academic contracts for nine-month appointees began on August 22. A detailed biweekly pay schedule that includes benefits deductions is available online.
