From the Vice President As you know, the Office of Human Resources was asked to move this past summer as the University needed to reallocate campus space to provide housing for the unusually high percentage of students enrolled in the Class of 2022. Along with the Princeton Writing Program and with the assistance of various campus departments, including the Office of the Executive Vice President, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Information Technology, University Services, and Facilities, we planned and executed a quick move to 100 Overlook Center. From the beginning, we have been gratified by the positive and warm encouragement and support of the campus community as we moved to Overlook and opened our new HR Service Center located at 4 New South. HR staff members are continuing to meet with their client departments both on campus as well as at Overlook. Since we moved, our experience and the data we are collecting have demonstrated that providing a satellite office at New South has been well received.

Employees who have questions about their benefits or a workplace matter are either scheduling appointments or dropping in to meet with HR staff members. We encourage individuals to schedule appointments whenever possible to minimize wait time. We have more information about the HR Service Center in this issue. I also want to encourage everyone to use the new benefits decision support tool, ALEX. This is an online confidential interactive resource that explains your options and helps you choose the right plans for you. For more details, refer to page 4 or your open enrollment materials.
HR associate, who transferred from another department to work in the Service Center; Sarah Handler, HR assistant, who works primarily at our main office but also occasionally at New South; and Dennis Rebadavia, technology support specialist. We also congratulate Emily Gulino, benefits analyst, and Alanna Chan, benefits specialist, who were recently promoted to their positions within the Benefits Team. Another exciting year lies ahead at Princeton, and I wish you all a great fall semester. As always, I welcome your feedback and suggestions!
Please help me welcome three new staff members who joined the HR Team: Kate Harkness,
