Word the spreads

A spreadsheet savvy member of the Ag. Communications and Technology staff has converted the new monthly leave form for SPA employees to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and is generously making his handiwork available to colleagues. SPA employees who are familiar with Excel are invited to let the software do the addition for them at the end of the month by downloading a copy of the template.

Another Excel spread sheet making the rounds is the University’s “Property disposition (surplus) form.” Donna Holland of The Cooperative Extension Program at A&T sent the form out to the staff at Coltrane along with a reminder that it’s an excellent time for spring cleaning, and faculty and staff with obsolete, beyond repair or unneeded furniture or equipment will be wise to get the useless and unwanted off the official inventories and out of the way.  Teaching and research faculty would likewise do well to heed Holland’s advice and update their equipment inventories before summer programs get under way. (If state or federal property for which you are responsible is moved from where it’s supposed to be without your knowledge, you are nonetheless personally responsible for the furniture or equipment, and “broken anyway,” and “obsolete” will not be acceptable explanations if it comes up missing).
