Human Resources

If you have a HR related issue, it is important to know the chain of command as to who to speak with first. Please speak with your supervisor if you have a problem first, so they can appropriately direct you. If you or a student is experiencing things like harassment, please direct them to HR. All HR related info is saved in the Human Resources folder in Woods Net. For any questions, please contact Brooke Hickey or Terry Bowe.
