Reminders, deadlines and events

* WSU will have a campus-wide steam outage beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, July 9, to facilitate Kansas Gas Service replacement of the gas meter assembly outside of the Power Plant. The only disruption to normal campus operation occupants might notice is some buildings may not have hot water at sinks, and the buildings may be cooler than normal since we will not have hot water for reheat.

* As authorized by K.S.A. 75-3203a, the State of Kansas, Secretary of Administration, privately owned automobile rate increased for FY 2019 to 54.5 cents per mile. A complete list of mileage reimbursement rates can be found at https://wsu.news/travel.

* Housing and Residence Life is seeking move-in volunteers to assist residents with moving in to their rooms from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 and Friday, Aug. 17, at The Flats and Shocker Hall.
