GENERAL EMPLOYMENT AND WORKPLACE ISSUES

Condolences and other Recognition

Employees should notify the Human Resources Office when learning about a death that affects the College community. The College will send an expression of sympathy, generally flowers or a plant, upon the death of a current student, or current/former employee or Board Member/Endowment Board Member. Departments or individuals who want to send a condolence gift after the death of an employee's family member may do so with personal funds. Under extenuating circumstances, the executive council may determine if institutional funds can be used.

Similarly, when a department wishes to recognize a colleague or colleague's family member on other occasions, i.e., marriage, birth, retirement, illness, etc., gifts must be purchased with personal funds.
