WSU weekly briefing to highlight news on research funding

News about research funding at Wichita State will highlight the WSU Weekly Briefing set for 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 9, in the Marcus Welcome Center.

Karen Davis, pre-award services, Office of Research and Technology Transfer, will present new information on research funding, and Zach Gearhart, director of governmental relations, will give the overall university update.

The briefing will be live streamed and available later that day at https://wsu.news/Youtube. There will be time for questions at the end of the briefing.

Sign up for biometric screenings 

There are fewer than 20 spots still available for biometric screening on Aug. 2. Sign up today at https://kansashealthquest.cernerwellness.com (click Step 2 in the top row of images, then the calendar icon to open the scheduling portal). If you don't see any available times, use the date drop-down menu to select "Resource 2" to see additional appointments that were added in August, September and October.

On-campus biometric screenings are a popular way to easily earn HealthQuest Rewards points and HRA/HSA contributions without having to leave campus. A few simple tests are run, and results are available when you leave.

Each attendee earns 5 points just for attending. When you meet the ideal ranges for blood pressure, glucose or total cholesterol, you earn 6 points for each category. That's a maximum possible 23 points from one event.

For additional information, including off-campus screening options, please visit the SEHP website.

The remaining 2018 Biometric Screening dates are:
Aug. 21, 142 RSC  
Sept.18, 261 RSC  
Oct. 23, 261 RSC 
Nov. 6, 261 RSC

Daily website update

The WSU naming units feature has been restored to the Visual Standards website. You can sort lockups by college or division or see a large alphabetical listing. Clicking a link downloads a zip file of all image formats.

We continue to see improvement in all areas of the site and the work being done by our editors is a big reason why. We're seeing a slow down in support ticket volume but want to stress -- on a site with more than 15,000 page, we can't see everything. If you run into something that's not displaying right or isn't working correctly, let us know about it using the Web Support form linked in the footer on every page or by typing in wichita.edu/websupport. 

The web support site has handled 191 support tickets to date with an average time to completion at 2.8 hours. 

Remember that there are come-and-go open lab sessions on the schedule for 3-5 p.m. Thursday and 9-11 a.m. Friday this week.
