Employee climate survey garners robust 60% response rate

By Dell Rae Ciaravola A robust 58.5 percent of employees – administrative professionals, state classified staff and faculty — weighed in with their anonymous opinions in the most recent university climate survey, the highest response rate ever for this survey. Respondents answered questions about their perceptions of the overall university and about their specific division or unit.

The survey assesses employees’ perceptions of the university, such as a sense of belonging, respect and the university’s progress in encouraging conversations about diversity. The survey sought information in a dozen categories: culture, respect, favoritism, sense of belonging, employee councils, leadership and accountability, bias, misconduct, the Principles of Community, freedom of speech and other perceptions of the workplace.

Although the collective findings indicated that an increasing number of employees view the university as a positive place to work, and most categories fared positively, responses also revealed areas where there continues to be room for improvement.

“We continue to break down the findings by units, divisions and demographics; the real work will begin in pinpointing areas where we can continue to improve,” said Mary Ontiveros, vice president for Diversity. “Overall, the survey results point to employees’ positive feelings and connections to the university as an institution and a community.”

PERCEPTIONS ABOUT UNIVERSITY, UNIT One section of the survey asks about general perceptions of CSU and individual units every time the survey is given; those perceptions have become more positive since the first surveys in 2012, 2014 and 2016. Respondents had more favorable agreement to almost all items asked each time the survey was administered, ranging from questions about the university’s efforts to recruit employees from a variety of backgrounds, to a positive work experience, to universal efforts to improve climate for all employees.

Most respondents – 71 percent – said they would recommend their unit as a place to work to a friend. This is an increase from 56 percent in 2016.

The fourth climate survey undertaken by the university, this survey is the first to look at questions directed to climate within specific colleges and divisions – where key findings will likely emerge.

“It is a new strategy this year to provide each division and college with their own report. This data breakdown is critical for divisions trying to identify positive trends and areas in need of focus,” said Jennifer Schneider, research analyst and survey methodologist in Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness. “I strongly encourage all employees, and particularly leaders, to look at the results for their division and college; this is where details emerge, showing what we’re doing well, and what we could be doing better in subsets of employee groups across campus.”

CSU Health Network employees share a hobby—writing children’s books

By Jeff Dodge CSU’s Health and Medical Center provides care for the body and mind.

It’s also, apparently, a good place to find authors of children’s books.

At least two CSU Health Network employees have published books for children in recent years, including one about Fort Collins’ historic streetcar and one about what it’s like to run a local family farm.

Dr. Kathlene Waller, the Health Network’s medical director, published Birney the Streetcar last year. And Dr. Nora Feldpausch, a psychiatrist at the Health and Medical Center, published Little Grandpa and Me: Learning to be a Dairy Farmer in 2015.

Waller’s book, featuring illustrations by her husband, Kevin Mabry, chronicles the history of a streetcar that started running when the Fort Collins Municipal Railway was created in 1919. The story is told from the perspective of the streetcar, “Birney.” Named for its inventor, Charles Birney, Streetcar 21 was active until the system was shut down in 1951. The streetcar then sat in Library Park, becoming rusted out, dilapidated and vandalized, until 1977, when a local women’s group secured a grant to restore it as a visitor’s center, Waller says. That effort led to the formation of the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society, which got the car running again in 1984 after a controversial relocation of trees along Mountain Avenue.

The streetcar still operates between Old Town and City Park on weekend afternoons from May through September. And from noon to 4 p.m. on May 19, the society will celebrate the railway’s 100th anniversary at the Trolley Depot in City Park, where Waller will be signing her book. This spring, her husband has been dressing up as a train conductor and reading the book in local second-grade classrooms.

“It was a fun project,” says Waller, who lives in a house along the rail line. “One morning we just woke up and said, ‘We should write a children’s book about the trolley.’ And that was in 1991.

A few years ago we decided to publish it, now that we’re empty-nesters.”

DAIRY FARMING BOOK Feldpausch’s book is written from the perspective of one of her twin daughters, Nina. She was 5 years old, and her great-grandfather was teaching her about family farming and how it’s changed over the years. Feldpausch’s husband is a third-generation dairy farmer whose grandfather, now 104, started the family farm in Michigan decades ago. Today, Feldpausch and her husband live on their dairy farm near Eaton and raise heifers near Fort Morgan.

The book features color photos of Nina and the man she calls “Little Grandpa,” and describes the care, feeding and milking of the family’s cows, then and now. It covers the veterinarian’s visits and the truck driver who transports the milk to be made into cheese, sour cream, yogurt and ice cream. About 400 copies of the book have been distributed to schools by the Western Dairy Association, now known as Dairy MAX. And it’s not the only book Feldpausch has written; she has unpublished works about a farm boy who wants to go to a barn dance, another boy who wants to touch the clouds, and a third about getting to know someone and falling in love —

Dr. Kathlene Waller (right), with her husband Kevin Mabry, is among the CSU Health Network employees who have published books for children in recent years. Waller and Mabry published Birney the Streetcar last year.

written for her husband while they were dating.

“I like to capture that delighted innocence that a child has,” she says, adding that she knows of a medical assistant at the Health and Medical Center who’s also working on a children’s book. “It’s an age that’s fun to write for. I love doing it.”

CAMPUS TRIVIA WITH RUSS SCHUMACHER Karen Solomon knew that the last outdoor commencement ceremony for CSU was held in Hughes Stadium in 1990 – because she was there as a graduate.

“I was happy it was outside, because my sister had had an outdoor graduation, and I really liked it,” recalled Karen, who handles purchasing and HR for the Department of Biomedical Sciences. “I think it couldn’t be inside because there was a measles outbreak on campus then, too.”

Other people who submitted answers recalled their own graduations at Hughes as punctuated by disruptive windstorms and toasty temperatures, just two good reasons that commencement ceremonies now take place in Lory Student Center and Moby Arena over an entire weekend.

A Fort Collins native – her father taught at CSU – Karen has been with the University for 20 years, working in the Library before moving over to Biomedical Sciences. And earlier this year she moved again, with the department offices, to the newly completed H-wing of the Anatomy and Zoology Building.

For having her answer drawn at random from all the correct submissions, Karen received the coveted CAM the Ram bobblehead, autographed by State Climatologist Russ Schumacher, the winningest Ram to ever appear on Jeopardy! – not nearly as winning as the recent champ, however – and a $20 gift certificate to the CSU Bookstore.

And that’s a wrap for Campus Trivia and CSU Life for this academic year. Look for more questions when we return in September.

PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY WINS INAUGURAL CSU PRESIDENT’S COUNCIL ON CULTURE AWARD In 2015, faculty, staff, students and administrators at Colorado State University came together to lay the framework for a 200-word document that would become an integral part of the fabric of the University.

Today, the five tenants of the Principles of Community — inclusion, integrity, respect, service, and social justice — are deeply woven into CSU, fostering a collaborative and vibrant community for learning, critical inquiry and discovery.

Because of its impact, the University is recognizing the efforts of the countless individuals who made the Principles of Community a reality with the inaugural President’s Council on Culture Award for Notable Contributions to the Culture of Colorado State University.

This prestigious, new honor recognizes those who have contributed in significant and positive ways to the University, supporting excellence, inclusion and diversity, among other important values.

Vice President for Diversity Mary Ontiveros, who led the initiative, will accept the award at the annual Celebrate!

Colorado State award ceremony on May 9.

“I might be the person who is receiving the award,” said Ontiveros prior to the ceremony, “but it is absolutely on behalf of all of the people who contributed to the creation of the Principles of Community and continue to work to ensure that these principles are incorporated into the culture of the university.”

Former Australian prime minister discusses gender gap

By Julianna Cervi In her talk at Colorado State University, Julia Gillard, the former prime minister of Australia, mentioned “tracky dacks” and “wozzies,” acknowledging that her American audience probably would not know what she was talking about.

But her April 8 lecture, as part of the Global Engagement Lecture Series, also took a serious tone exploring important subjects such as gender inequality, renewing democracy and encouraging cooperation in times of extreme bipartisanship.

During her talk at the Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom, Gillard discussed the personal challenges becoming the first female prime minister of Australia and the hurdles women have to overcome in leadership positions.

Gillard, who also was the former leader of the Australian Labor Party, said she saw that a woman’s worth as a leader was often linked to her likability when this is not always the case for men. “Leadership as a woman felt lonely at times,” she said.

The former prime minister, who served from 2010-2013, also was open about her experience in dealing with media members more concerned about the appearance of women rather than their political views, something her male counterparts do not often experience.

As for how to close the gender gap between women and men, Gillard said there are no easy answers. However, she urged the audience to be an agent of change and open to unpacking the complexities that come with racial and gender issues in society.

Gillard also touched on strengthening democracies, noting that from an outsider perspective, one would think democracies are cherished and admired by societies all over the world, but this is not always the case. Globalization, climate change and frantic-paced media systems among other factors have made the future of democracies more questionable than ever, she said.

“Democracies are noisy, quarrelsome and slow,” she said. “But it’s the only system that assures everyone has a voice.”

When it came to striving for widespread cooperation, Gillard gave the audience three tips for tackling a rapidly evolving world.

She illustrated the importance of being clear about one’s purpose in their relationship with others; think intellectually and filter out the vile; and the significance for people to identify the urgent versus the important.

“It takes discipline to carve out unplug time for the moments of deeper reflection,” she said.

Gallard’s lecture was sponsored by the Office of International Programs with additional support provided by First National Bank, Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, University Housing, Women and Philanthropy, Department of Political Science, Office of the Vice President for University Operations, Office of Vice President for Diversity, Colorado School of Public Health at CSU, Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Grant, Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement (SLiCE), School of Global Environmental Sustainability, ASCSU, KUNC, Women in Natural Sciences.

With Summer Around the Corner, Think Tito’s

By Mat Dinsmore, owner Wilbur’s Total Beverage, CSU Alum, class of ‘05 and 3rd generation Ram

Tito’s Handcrafted Vodka has always been my ‘reach-past-theother-bottles’ choice for home bartending. I love trying new spirits, but if I want a reliably tasty experience, I’m talking Tito.

Easy to use!

Discover online specials, staff pics, new recipes, favorite frequently viewed and ordered items, upcoming events, order gift cards & more.

The Austin, Texas-based distillery has always had a kind of cult following. It’s soft smoothness and slightly sweet finish make it tasty sipped, as a shot, or mixed.

And Tito’s low price tag makes it easy to become a convert — it’s hard to find another vodka that’s as smooth for the money.

WILBURS

Completely clean in appearance and flavor, Tito’s owes its superb neutrality to the six times it’s distilled in pot stills and its lifting, slightly sweet finish to the use of sweet yellow corn as a base. With only a slight ethanol flavor, and a supremely silky mouthfeel, Tito’s is a vodka that tastes great as a slow sipper over ice and lime.

Digital materials save money, enhance learning

By Kate Jeracki It’s the end of the semester, and that means the time-honored tradition of students selling their textbooks back to the CSU Bookstore begins on May 10. It’s a thrifty way to go: During the Spring, Summer and Fall 2018 semesters, students saved nearly $470,000 through book buybacks.

They saved an additional $835,000 by purchasing used books and $580,000 by choosing less expensive versions in the first place, and nearly $770,000 by simply renting books needed for their classes. Those savings add up – to about $2.65 million over the three semesters.

But they saw even greater savings by opting to use digital materials – licensing textbooks and other learning materials available only online. That alternative saved students a whopping $3.4 million in 2018, more than half of the total $6.1 million savings for last calendar year.

“It’s part of what we do,” said John Parry, director of the Bookstore. “We’re dedicated to making materials as accessible as possible to all students, and that includes meeting students’ needs at the least cost possible.”

For comparison, new course materials for Comp 150 can cost $136; an e-textbook is about $54 for the semester, according to Parry, who said digital materials average between 50 percent and 80 percent cheaper than print.

REQUEST COURSE MATERIALS Faculty can request the Bookstore make course materials available through the Inclusive Access Materials program when available from the textbook publisher. The Bookstore will also order print versions of the same materials, if they are available and if students want to purchase them, but the demand to have a book in hand is dropping as both faculty and students become more comfortable teaching and learning on Canvas.

Parry said this is the third year the Bookstore has offered electronic options. “We really saw it take off in Spring 2018,” he added.

As for Parry, the shift to digital presents another challenge: As students pay less for materials, the Bookstore’s operating budget decreases. It’s a challenge faced by campus bookstores across the nation, one that has been accelerating since the invention of the internet.

“In the end,“ Parry said, “we have to be wise in our decisions about how to best serve students.”

A F T E R CPC

CPC AWARDS HONOR OUTSTANDING CLASSIFIED PERSONNEL Each year, the Classified Personnel Council celebrates outstanding classified personnel at their annual recognition luncheon, and April 16 was no exception as Megan Skeehan, chair of the CPC, emceed the luncheon.

The council recognized all of the recipients of the various CPC awards, including the Outstanding Achievement Award, Positive Action Award, Educational Assistance Award, and Everyday Hero Award. Special recognition also went out to the CPC executive committee members as well as those completing one or more three-year terms on the council.

A special guest speaker was brought in to highlight the work for the upcoming CSU Sesquicentennial (150-year anniversary of CSU). Frank Boring – CSU’s lead documentary filmmaker – gave the group a small taste of the documentary he is producing that will be premiered on campus and in Fort Collins in February 2020. Rocky Mountain PBS will broadcast the film in prime time, but a date has not yet been scheduled.

Many gems from Colorado State University’s rich history have been rediscovered by Boring and his staff by digging through shelf after shelf of tapes and reels of film within the Clark Building. This includes footage of CSU’s one-year mascot – “Teddy the Bear,” footage of Andy Warhol’s visit to CSU, the Rolling Stones performing at Hughes Stadium and many other treasures that could have been lost forever had it not been for Boring and his team.

The council also recognized the winners of the Outstanding Achievement Award. These awardees were honored for their exceptional service to the University, including exceptional jobs skills, achievements and success in leadership, mentoring, and support. These awardees also will be honored at the Celebrate! CSU event scheduled on May 9.

The Positive Action Award winners also were announced. This award recognizes individuals, groups or departments that have made a positive contribution to State Classified employees at CSU. The award is meant to showcase their efforts that foster a supportive work environment, improve campus climate, and/or positive work experiences for State Classified employees.

Lauri Loyd and Jean West were both awarded for their tremendous contributions to the morale of all Housing and Dining employees by supporting staff through employee recognition programs, staff training and workshops.

Additionally, the Living Wage Committee was selected to receive this award for their efforts in ensuring no full-time employee at CSU makes less than $30,000 per year.

The Classified Personnel Council would like to thank all faculty, staff and students for making Colorado State University a great place to work, a wonderful community to thrive and a home away from home.

TIPS FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY SUMMERTIME

MAY 2019

Lace up your running shoes for FORTitude 10K Labor Day The third annual FORTitude 10K through iconic neighborhoods in Fort Collins and the Colorado State University campus is scheduled for Sept. 2.

The Labor Day race attracts nearly 10,000 runners, walkers and joggers who finish the race at Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium.

More than double that many fans attend to cheer on the finishers. The race has been named one of the top events in the state and includes more than five hours of live TV coverage.

By Kimberly Burke In the summer months, many of us are more enticed to partake in exercise, and generally, of a greater variety with so many outdoor opportunities. I hope this time for many is a good mixture of work and play, and in that playtime, here are some helpful reminders for keeping active, safe and happy over the summer.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Exercise in the morning or evening: Aim to exercise during the cooler portions of the day. This may mean earlier morning or evening workouts. This helps to remain cool while exercising to avoid heat exhaustion, but it also decreases the risk of sun exposures like sunburn. If exercising in brighter and hotter temperatures of the day, try to find shady areas, use sun protection, stay hydrated, and/or consider indoor exercise with air conditioning.

Choose appropriate clothing: Lightweight clothing is best, in lighter colors and looser fitting. This helps with sweat evaporation and keeping you cooler and can be a part of sun protection if wearing long sleeves or pants, requiring less sunscreen.

Sun protection: As we’ve shared, keep yourself covered with long sleeves, pants and a hat. Seek the shade when possible, and use sunscreen. Look for broad-spectrum coverage of UVA and UVB, aiming for at least 30 SPF; apply about every two hours or so. Don’t forget the extra importance of sunscreen at higher altitudes. It’s easy to remember the sun screen at the pool or beach, but don’t forget about it on mountain tops or when hiking and biking.

Involve the whole family: Feel free to do your favorite exercises and get your workouts in, but from time to time, consider ways in which the whole family can be active. Utilize parks, taking both the kids and the grandparents. This might mean hikes, amusement parks, canoeing, fishing, dancing and more. Another way to keep the family active is to plan active vacations. Consider camping or vacations near water activities. It’s a great way to spend time in nature that can promote family bonding and exercise.

Picnics and cookouts: If you’re going to exercise outside, why not eat outside? Summer is a great time for picnics and cookouts. Be sure to properly wash foods and in these temperature extremes, pay attention to avoid food spoiling. Eat seasonally with refreshing fruits and vegetables, and while sometimes it is helpful prepare ahead of time, it may be best to make food items the same day as the event for food safety.

With graduation near and summer session not far behind, take the time this summer to get outside and stay active. Make it a summertime story worth sharing when you get back for the fall semester.
