| Join us at the Tarble preceding a new moon for a gentle yoga practice. With the metaphor provided by the darkest possible sky, we will consider the potentiality of blank space and new beginnings through heart-opening flows.
All are welcome to join us in community care, movement, and intention-setting. No experience is required, but you will need to bring your own yoga mat or beach towel. We will practice outside in the Tarble’s bald cypress tree grove whenever weather permits, otherwise, we will bring our practice inside the galleries. You may wish to bring an extra towel and a closed water bottle. You are invited to arrive between 9–9:05am to get settled. The class will begin promptly at 9:05am and last for approximately 55 minutes. |

EIU EMPLOYEE 2024 SUMMER HOURS
READ MORE
As
outlined in IGP 19, employees, whose work assignments allow, to compress their
normal five-day workweek into a 4.5-day workweek. Please be sure to turn off
computers, lights, and personal air conditioning units if you have them to help
improve our energy efficiency. Campus-wide summer office
hours will be in effect from Monday, May 6, through Friday, August 9. This
year, flex schedules will be honored during the holiday weeks as well. Please
ensure the work week consists of at least 37.5 hours of work hours, vacation
and/or sick leave. Supervisors are responsible for accurate recording of time. When summer office
hours are in effect, all offices must be open Monday through Thursday between 8
a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. until noon. Due to
ongoing operational needs, offices including, but not limited to, University
Police, Booth Library, and the Renewable Energy Center, will keep regular
business hours and remain open on Friday afternoons. Holidays
will be observed on Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day, Wednesday, June 19 for
Juneteenth, and Thursday, July 4 for Independence Day. Classes
scheduled to meet on Friday afternoons will be relocated to buildings where the
air conditioning will remain on. Employees
are to work with supervisors to ensure that a 37.5-hour workweek is
accomplished. Each office is to change voice mail, signage, and other public
communication to reflect its summer hours. Regular business hours
will resume on Monday, Aug. 12. If you
need to complete your flex schedule, please visit webappsprod.eiu.edu/flexschedules/login. This link allows employees to
complete a request, obtain supervisor's approval, and submit documents and requests to
Benefits for final approval. Questions
may be directed to Human Resources at benefits@eiu.edu or by calling 217-581-5825.
Thank You!

PART-TIME STUDENT INSURANCE FOR PART-TIME, ONLINE AND OFF CAMPUS STUDENTS
READ MORE
Student Insurance is available for the Summer 2024 term. The
coverage effective dates are 5/13/2024-8/11/2024. The cost for the coverage is
$87.45.
Students who are insured in Spring 2024, who desire Summer
coverage and will not be enrolled in the Summer Term, may obtain coverage by
submitting the Summer 2024 Enrollment Form available in their PAWS account, under
the MyHealth tab prior to 5/12/24.
Students who enroll for 5 or more hours for the Summer Term
may obtain coverage by submitting the Summer 2024 Enrollment Form available in their PAWS account, under the MyHealth tab
prior to 5/21/24. Coverage is effective upon receipt of the enrollment form.
Student Insurance provides the student worldwide protection
24 hours a day. The Plan has a $100
deductible per diagnosis and pays up to 70% of eligible expenses for physician
and hospital expenses, lab and x-ray, surgery, ambulance transport, physical
therapy, maternity expenses, mental health and substance abuse issues. The
Student Insurance Plan also reduces copays for prescription medications at the
Health Services on campus.
Unlike an HMO or PPO, the Plan does not have a network,
giving students a choice in their care and provides coverage for treatment the
student receives while they are at home, at school, and wherever they may
travel.
Student Insurance is an economical way to reduce or
eliminate out-of-pocket expenses when family health plans do not cover 100% of
medical costs because of deductibles, co-payment amounts, limitations on
specific benefits, and out-of-network penalties. The Student Insurance Plan complements the
family health plan. Most students find
it beneficial to carry both, particularly if the family plan has a deductible
and/or coinsurance.
You can find more information about the Plan at www.eiu.edu/studentinsurance
or by contacting our office at 217-581-5290. There are 2 short videos on the
website that do a nice job of explaining all about the Plan. Permalink

Travel Rate Changes
READ MORE
The Illinois Higher Education Travel Control Board has recently revised its regulations to align with federal government reimbursement rates for both domestic and international travel. This adjustment is anticipated to simplify the process of locating hotels within the approved rates for travelers. Effective January 2, 2024, the Business Affairs dashboard has been updated to adhere to these modifications. Consequently, travelers will be required to provide more comprehensive information in the dashboard to ensure accurate rate calculations.
Moving forward, further adjustments will be implemented in accordance with changes in federal government rates.
