Step Up to the Plate
Show your UWG pride and help students at the same time by purchasing the UWG affinity license plate. UWG needs 10 more people to sign up for the new plate to meet the minimum number required by the state. UWG receives $10 for each tag sold to help fund scholarships for undergraduate students. The cost includes a one time $25 manufacturing fee, a $20 annual registration fee and a $35 annual special tag fee. Click here for more information on how to get yours.

Campus Wide Centralized Scheduling
UWG has adopted the use of a campus-wide centralized scheduling software effective February 1. All reservation requests for university employees and student organizations will be via the EMS web app for majority of the spaces on campus. Any faculty or staff who hosts at least one event on campus is urged to attend a brief overview of the process and a tutorial on how to use the new software. Overview dates are listed above in the important dates section. Please send any questions to ems-list@westga.edu.

Professional Development Consortium
UWG is a member of the Professional Development Consortium at Georgia Tech that offers professional development opportunities for faculty and staff. The Center for Business Excellence will continue to send opportunities for professional development as they are received. Feel free to revew the 2018 Course Catalog. It contains course descriptions, dates, times and cost information. Your divisional budget manager will also have a hard copy of the catalog.

CVS Caremark Opioid Management Strategy Update
In order to align with the FDA's recommendations for opioid usage, the USG will be implementing a new management strategy to ensure your use of opioid medication for pain management is safe. Beginning March 1, the amount of opioid medication your prescription benefit plan will cover is changing. These limits will be communicated to you individually via personal letter from CVS Caremark. Let your doctor know that there are new limits to the amount of your medication that your plan will cover. If your doctor decides that a different quantity of medicine is right for you, you or your doctor can request prior authorization for coverage. If you have questions about your plan benefits, please visit  Caremark.com or call the Customer Care number on the back of your member ID card.

Professional Development Award
The Staff Advisory Council is taking applications for the Professional Development Award. The winners will receive reimbursement for up to $250 towards the cost of travel/registration. Complete this short form to apply. Applications will be accepted until March 1.
