Employee Appreciation Day 2009 The third annual Employee Appreciation Day is Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 11 am to 1:30 pm at Alumni Plaza.  President Scott Ransom and the Executive Team will serve free lunch for faculty and staff including burgers (or veggie burgers), fixings and snow cones. The department lunch schedule will be posted in Daily News and on flyers posted around campus in the coming weeks.  Don’t forget your UNTHSC ID badge for your commemorative T-shirt and other giveaways.  The Employee Benefits Action Committee will host Wheel of Fortune with several prizes, and there will be a photo booth for individuals photos for an all-employee mural. Throughout the day President Ransom will visit offices around campus to personally thank employees for their accomplishments this year. Burgers, T-shirts and other giveaways for the evening crew will be available from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the Atrium. On Employee Appreciation Day, we would like to encourage everyone to enjoy a "business casual Friday" dress code if appropriate for their department.  Please check with your supervisor if you have any questions about this.

Going green and white: Update
As previously reported, the UNT System Board of Regents voted at its May meeting to change the Health Science Center's colors to better align branding across the entire UNT System.  Over the last few weeks, it has been determined that a more comprehensive rebranding review  for the Health Science Center is appropriate as brand identities are developed  for the System itself and the new Law School.

Marketing and Communications will be working with System designers and representative groups from across the campus to formulate our brand identity and brand standards going forward.  That process will take some months to accomplish, and therefore a full launch of the brand will be delayed to later in the fiscal year.

You will be getting a feel for “going green” at the upcoming Employee Appreciation Day, but please note that the color you see may not be the final color chosen for our campus. 

Class of 2013 cleans up the Trinity Trails
It didn’t take the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine Class of 2013 long to start giving back to the Fort Worth community. During orientation, the entire class, along with the Medical Student Government Association (MSGA), volunteered to clean up along Trinity Trails. MSGA executive council members Bill Betz, Christian Dean, Matt Garcia, Ghazaleh Moayedi and Amir Barzin coordinated with the Fort Worth Parks and Recreation Department to plan the clean-up.  The group picked up trash on Trinity Trails near the new Fort Worth Police and Firefighters Memorial.

UNTHSC students, faculty and staff volunteered at Fort Worth's 11th annual Hispanic Wellness Fair on Aug. 1. They helped deliver health information and services to more than 4,000 attendees  at this year's fair. See more photos on our Flickr page.
