2015 fall shred day
An annual Fall Shred Day is sponsored on the K-State Salina campus to properly dispose of university paper records. The 2015 Fall Shred Day collection will be 8:30-11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 06, in the service and delivery area behind the Technology Center building. Departments can place paper documents with personal identity information - Social Security numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, etc. - in bags or boxes and deliver to the collection area. Please do not leave the materials to be shredded unattended.
Documents for shredding include: Scantron forms; greenbar grade sheets; rosters printed from K-State Online, kSIS, SIS, etc.; papers with personal identity information; data with credit card information; personnel files; and more. Papers can be left in ring binders, file folders and hanging file folders for shredding. All paper must be dry. For a quick look at retention of documents:
* Personnel records should be retained for the entire time the employee is active and then five years after termination.
* Appointment records: Classified, unclassified, hourly and graduate student appointment and termination records (PER-38, PER-39, PER 40, PER-41, PER-42); conditional appointment agreement; I-9 employment eligibility form 5AT/D.
* Time and leave records: Classified, unclassified, student, and hourly time-worked and leave-used records 5/D.
To determine which records can be included, please refer to the university's records retention policy and schedule, PPM Chapter 3090. If you have any questions about the retention length of records, please contact university archivist Cliff Hight at chight@k-state.edu or 785-532-3420.
What happens to the paper once it leaves campus? All paper is shred to one-half inch particulate size, then mixed and tumbled and eventually compressed under 70,000 pounds of pressure into paper bales. The bales are transported to a paper mill and recycled into other paper goods. For more information about this event, contact:
* Salina campus: Information Systems, 785-826-2666
Shred day is made possible with the help from the Information Technology Assistance Center on the Manhattan Campus.

Wine Walk 2015
 This last week, K-State Salina celebrated the end of its 50th year celebration festivities with the Art of the Science Wine Walk. This year, the event was held in the Aviation Center, highlighting the aviation programs on campus. Over 60 guests attended and enjoyed numerous aviation displays including flight simulators, aircraft maintenance projects and a variety of aircraft on the ramp, including the new G36 Bonanza the university recently took delivery of. While touring the aviation facilities, guests were treated with a variety of gourmet hors d'oeuvres with complimenting wine pairings. Aside from the displays, a string quartet provided entertainment in the hangar and Willie the Wildcat made an appearance for photo ops.
This is the second annual Art of the Science Wine Walk and it focuses on highlighting different program's labs on campus each year.
If you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Zoller, events coordinator, at kzoller@ksu.edu.

This will be an annual event so be prepared to submit your work or nominate a colleague next year.
Sept 10: Governor John Carlin provided our Civic Lecture and talked about education in Kansas the past 50 years and looking into the future. Next month we will return to the Civic Luncheon Lecture, so watch for the upcoming announcement.
Sept 11: The Art of the Science Wine Walk highlighting our aviation programs this year and featuring some great wines and food pairing as well as some photographs taken by our aviation students and faculty. President Schulz attended and really enjoyed getting up experience the simulators and check out our airplanes and other teaching equipment. As a surprise, Willy showed up for fun photo opportunities and the AVM hanger was alive with beautiful live string music. This is quickly becoming a tradition and I am looking forward to hearing all about next year's event!
