If you didn't do early voting, an absentee ballot, or mail-in voting, make your plan to get to the polls on election day!

Staff and Faculty will be available in the Shults Reading Lounge 9am-3pm on 11/6 to discuss what we've experienced this election season, what we know now, and what comes next. Or, just come by for the hot cocoa bar with cocoa, tea, coffee, cookies, and snacks! Dr. Tim Kneeland will be there 1:30-3pm to answer questions you may have about the election process and current state.

The Center for Spirituality staff will be available throughout the day to facilitate meaningful discussions and reflections on feelings post-election. Come and share the state of your heart and listen to others. All are welcome. Center for Spirituality Community Room (GAC 151).

Come to the Reading Lounge to ask Dr. Tim Kneeland questions about the election! If you're lucky, we'll still have coffee, cocoa, tea, snacks, and sweets left from the day!

Health and Counseling is offering expanded appointment walk-in availability on Wednesday! You can right on the Student Health Portal http://patient-naz.medicatconnect.com.

This is one of our campus dialogue sessions where we will unpack how we can move forward as a whole community thinking about ways to heal divides and find hope for the future regardless of the election outcome. This is a safe space where we will practice creating a safe space for open sharing, active listening, and empathetic responding.

Inspired by the Sisters of St. Joseph's charism of connecting neighbor to neighbor without distinction, this service will create a space to discern the state of our hearts individually and collectively and find grounding in times of division and uncertainty. Join us as we pray, share our hopes, and strengthen our bonds; representing our diverse backgrounds and understandings while reaffirming our commitment to live as neighbors. Together, we can foster understanding and compassion in these challenging times. At Linehan Chapel

However, if a Poll Worker takes a training class but does not work on Election Day, they will not get paid for the training class.

If you have questions regarding pay or the status of your check, please refer to the Board of Elections Finance Department: BOEPayroll@monroecounty.gov
