  • Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public Affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news!

    All of us here in Public Affairs are available to assist you in a number of ways when it comes to communication, public relations and marketing. Need something edited or proofread? We can do it. Have a speech to write? We can help. Need a flyer designed? Let us assist you. We can also answer questions you may have about branding, including logo use. As you may know, there are specifics when it comes to that area. If you have a project that is using a logo, run it by our office and we’ll help keep you out of trouble. Basically, contact us for any old thing. We’ll do our best to help you out.

    Public Affairs offers a variety of items to support your events. Do you need a logo banner to showcase at your fair booth? We have a few. Are you serving cold drinks at an event and want something sleeker than a cooler? You can borrow one of our stainless steel beverage tubs. Visit our website to check out photos of available items and fill out an event support request form to reserve what you need. You can also request an appearance by our energetic and fun Baby Jay. Loved by adults and kids alike, Baby Jay will kick your event up a notch. All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.

    The latest edition of Embark KU Wichita magazine is available now! Read it online or pick up a copy from Public Affairs or in the Main Lobby. What’s inside? Stories that highlight some of our community outreach programs that are improving the health of Kansans.

  • The office will be closed Monday, Oct. 21, through Wednesday, Oct. 23, as we will be off site at a conference. If you need immediate assistance, Crystal Nevins will be available at [email protected] on a limited basis during this time.

    Oct. 1-31: Open enrollment of benefits for the 2020 plan year will occur. Everyone will need to log in to the MAP system and select your benefits that will take effect Jan. 1, 2020. This includes new employees who elected benefits that go into effect Oct. 1, Nov. 1 or Dec. 1. For you, there will also be an open enrollment link to choose your 2020 benefits. Exceptions: If you currently have elected to waive coverage for health care, no action is necessary. This includes those who have stand alone dental and/or vision benefits, or other optional coverages. If you do log in and save ANY changes, you must select something for health care, even if you plan to continue to waive it. Failure to do so will result in being defaulted to Plan N for the 2020 year and you will not be able to make another change until open enrollment in October 2020 (unless there is a qualifying life event). October: Annual Compliance Training is upon us once again, but with a new Learning Management System (LMS) called SABA. Everyone will need to take the training this year unless you are a newly hired employee after Sept. 1, as you will have already completed the 2019 version of the training. Nov. 18: This is the deadline to receive HealthQuest rewards credits and be paid out the corresponding money into your HSA/HRA. Anything after this date will not be paid out and you will have to wait until after Jan. 1, 2020, to start fresh. Dec. 31: Final day to reach at least 40 HealthQuest rewards points in order to have a reduction in premium for your 2020 health care.

  • Todd Savolt tries his hand at suturing during Introphase for third year students.

  • Do you know why the National Fire Protection Association's Fire Prevention Week is observed every year during the week of Oct. 9? It’s to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, where nearly 300 people died and 100,000 people were left homeless. Take a look back at how this historical fire shaped today’s fire prevention programs. In a typical fire, once the smoke alarm sounds, you may have as little as 1-2 minutes to escape. That is it … so every second counts! This is why it’s so important to actively participate in drills —to gain muscle memory on your escape plan so that you can focus on more complex issues during the emergency. This month our campus will conduct the annual fire drill. You are encouraged to participate as if it is a real fire emergency. How fast can you get out of the building? What emergency exit(s) is/are closest to you? What if the exit is blocked by smoke or fire? Remember R-A-C-E:

    • Remove persons from danger

    • Alert others — activate alarm by pulling the nearest fire pull station if not already sounding — alert fire department: CALL 911!

    • Confine fire by closing doors (if safe to do so)

    • Evacuate to your assigned assembly area (KUMC login may be required to open link) Fire prevention plans and drills are just as important for your home as they are for work/school. This week. review or create your household fire evacuation plan.

    • Test all smoke alarms (check the expiration date — they expire 10 years from date of manufacture).

    • Evacuate your home and have everyone meet at your designated meeting place. Physically walk out your entire escape route(s).

    • If you have pets, include them in your disaster plan.

    • Practice, practice, practice — create muscle memory for everyone in your household. Fire extinguishers Do you have and know where fire extinguishers are located in your home? Are they easily accessible and in proper working condition? Does everyone know how to use it? To safely use an extinguisher, remember PASS: PRESS, AIM, SQUEEZE, SWEEP. View a demonstration here. Watch your email for details on upcoming hands-on extinguisher training hosted by the Wichita Fire Department. Special note: Check to see if your home extinguisher(s) are part of the 2017 nationwide recall. Visit the Safety & Emergency Management intranet page for more information or contact us at [email protected] or by phone at 316-293-3409.

    October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In recognition, IT Services is offering some valuable information from the “Stop. Think. Connect.” campaign from U.S. Homeland Security. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ONLINE FRAUD When seeking the following information online, you can take precautions to protect yourself from fraud: Banking

    • Avoid accessing your personal or bank accounts from a public computer or public Wi-Fi network, such as the public library. Not only can cybercriminals potentially gain access to your accounts through public Wi-Fi, but strangers can easily shoulder surf and see the sensitive information on your computer or mobile device screen.

    • Don’t reveal personally identifiable information such as your bank account number, Social Security number or date of birth to unknown sources.

    • When paying a bill online or making an online donation, be sure that you type the website URL into your browser instead of clicking on a link or cutting and pasting it from the email.

    Shopping

    • Make sure the website address starts with “https”; the “s” stands for secure.

    • Look for the padlock icon at the bottom of your browser, which indicates that the site uses encryption.

    • Type new website URLs directly into the address bar instead of clicking on links or cutting and pasting from the email.

    Medical advice

    • Be sure to find out who is providing the information and check that you are visiting legitimate websites when you go online.

    • Look for websites ending in .edu (for education) or .gov (for government) for legitimate medical information.
