Scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 16 in University Center 303, more than a dozen staff members whose jobs involve some sort of enforcement of university, state or federal laws will be on hand to answer questions.<\/p>\n

“We’ve all heard the phrase ‘there’s no such thing as a dumb question,’ ”\u00a0Debi O’Connor, director, Office of Campus Compliance, said. “But we mean it. We want\u00a0the campus community\u00a0to meet the compliance liaisons who are here to help and answer compliance-related questions in a relaxed environment.”<\/p>\n

O’Connor gets that it can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming to keep up with campus, university, state and federal policies. That’s why she organized the one-stop-shopping approach to help decipher what can be an alphabet soup of regulations and showcase available resources.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/a>“If you don’t know your FERPA from your FAFSA, this is the place to go,” O’Connor said.<\/p>\n

Anja Wynne, assistant director, Office of Human Resources, will be on hand to answer questions about CU’s required annual conflict of interest statement.<\/p>\n

“The survey only takes about five minutes to complete,” Wynne said. “It’s required but why not come and have a doughnut and cup of coffee while you’re filling it out?”<\/p>\n

Those interested in attending are asked to respond to Tamara Cannafax, support professional, Campus Compliance, tcannafa@uccs.edu<\/a> by Nov. 9.<\/p>\n

Offices that will be represented at the Nov. 16 event include:<\/p>\n
