(You know, we've been thinking about adding an Orange Julius....) We'll have survey highlights for you in upcoming editions of the Insider Update.
While everyone gets great news, commentary and job announcements, a few people got a bit more from Inside Higher Ed last month. Winners of recent exhibit hall raffles include Angie Loving, Employment Manager at the University of Kansas, who won the Beatles box set at the CUPA-HR National Conference; Venesse Metcalf, Director of Human Resources at Yosemite Community College District, who won an Amazon gift card at the ACHRO/EEO Conference; and Richard Eber, Vice President of Enrollment Management at Cottey College, who won an Amazon gift card at the NACAC meeting.
SERVICE NOTE: Inside Higher Ed will be closed Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27. There will be no daily news update e-mail either day. Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday.
