New system will change PPAR
dates - top
Beginning July 31, Career Service Act (CSA) employees
will have their Performance Planning and Review (PPAR) sessions on the
anniversary date of their hire instead of in March each year.
This change is a part of the new finance/human
resources/payroll system rollout that is currently underway in the South
Dakota public higher education system.
All the necessary information and forms will be sent
to the appropriate supervisor approximately two weeks prior to the CSA
employee’s anniversary date. The review is to be completed on the
anniversary date.
According to Anita Haeder, director of Human
Resources, there will be some "catching up" to do since the new fiscal
year began July 1 and there were anniversary dates the first part of
July. Prior to July 31, supervisors will be sent the annual PPAR
document letters for those employees who are to be evaluated in July.
After July the information should be out on a regular schedule.

Enhancing the Mathematical Sciences Workforce in the 21st Century
(NSF)
The long-range goal of the Enhancing the Mathematical Sciences
Workforce in the 21st Century (EMSW21) program is to increase the number
of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who
pursue careers in the mathematical sciences and in other National
Science Foundation supported disciplines. EMSW21 tries to do this with
three separate components: The Vertical Integration of Research and
Education (VIGRE) program supports activities that involve the entire
department and span the entire spectrum of educational levels from
undergraduates through postdoctoral associates; Research Training Groups
(RTG) support the training activities of a group of faculty who have a
common research interest; Mentoring through Critical Transition Points (MCTP)
involves a larger group of faculty but focuses on specified stages in
the professional development of the trainees.
Deadline: Oct. 12, 2005. For additional information and
program requirements see
