Please contact Payroll Specialist Jennifer DeJolie at (909) 869-2962 for any questions.

In May 2012 Cal Poly Pomona underwent a Chancellors Offi ce Data Center Operations Audit that culminated in an October report listing multiple fi ndings across the campus. As part of that audit the Foundation had three minor fi ndings regarding its operations. These were mitigated in November and December allowing the Foundation Data Center to be fully compliant by the end of 2012.

Employment Services Updates

In February 2013, Employment Services will roll out its new version of Kronos. Although employees will not experience any big changes immediately, in the coming weeks they will see new biometrics devices for which to clock-in and out. Th ese new biometrics devices are much more than a simple device intended to capture the image of your fi ngerprint. Th ese devices are “Touch Terminals” which not only allow for punching in and out using biometrics or time stamp, they also allow a wide range of functionality for employees, such as Employee or Manager Self-Service. Th ese new Touch Terminals allow employees to select the specifi c language they prefer to use when accessing Self-Service, and also have the capability to show short videos right on the Touch Terminal. We are pleased to bring these enhancements to our employees and hope all will fi nd them benefi cial.

Upgrade to the Kronos Platform

In December, Employment Services rolled out the online training platform for supervisory training and it is now in full operation. Th e initial responses from those employees who have experienced this online training have been very positive. In total, there are over 10,000 training topics within our online training program, which includes more topics than supervisory or management training.

Obviously, this is an overwhelming number of topics and as a result, Foundation developed a matrix of topics for which supervisors will enroll, and those topics are determined by the specifi c level of supervision for a given position. Each course is 60 – 90 minutes in length and there is one topic scheduled per month. Th ere are diff erent learning paths for diff erent

levels of supervision, and we are hopeful this approach will create a baseline of supervisory training standards for which all Foundation supervisors will experience, and obviously utilize in their supervisory tasks and activities.

Along with the online training, there is also a component of required reading, a component of live presentations (minimum two per year), and the creation of a “Supervisory Round Table.” Th e Supervisory Round Table is intended to allow supervisory employees to meet in a facilitated group format on a quarterly basis, and discuss a wide range of supervisory issues. While participation in the Supervisory Round Table is completely optional, we expect these two-hour sessions to provide very meaningful interaction, dialogue, and shared best practices related to topics on supervision, management, and leadership.

Once every three years, the Offi ce of the University Auditor conducts a compliance audit (internal audit) of the Foundation as directed by the Committee on Audit of the CSU Board of Trustees. The Foundation was notifi ed by e-mail on Wednesday January 23, 2013 that the compliance audit for the period July 2010 through January 2013 will be conducted and a formal letter from the Offi ce of the CSU University Auditor will be sent to the President a few weeks prior to the start of their fi eldwork.

The fi eldwork will begin on Monday, March 25, 2013 and conclude on Friday, April 26, 2013. An entrance conference has been scheduled for Monday, March 25, 2013 and we invite any members of the Audit Committee and the Board to attend. At the entrance conference the CSU auditors will discuss the scope, objectives, schedule, and the process of reporting for the compliance audit. The auditors will interview key personnel and review Federal statutes, California code of regulations, Trustee resolutions, Executive Orders, Campus and Foundation policies/practices, and sound business practices to develop a risk assessment and scope to produce an audit program.

Foundation management and staff have started the process of gathering various documents and completing questionnaires in preparation for the audit. These documents will assist the auditors in evaluating internal controls related to the recording of business transactions, safeguarding Foundation assets, compliance with policies, and the promotion of operational effi ciency.

The auditor’s fi eldwork will be followed by an informal exit conference wherein the preliminary fi ndings will be presented for further discussion and clarifi cation. The auditor will then prepare a draft report and a fi nal report within the calendar year that will include the Foundation’s responses and timeline for implementing the corrective action. We will keep you apprised, if necessary, in future articles as this audit progresses.

Qdoba’s Welcome Back Party!Tuesday, January 15 was no ordinary day in the Bronco Student Center (BSC). During U-hour, crowds of Cal Poly Pomona students gathered for Qdoba Mexican Grill’s lively Welcome Back Party. The campus community was greeted with music from a live D.J., a raffl e, a photo booth, and giveaways, including Qdoba t-shirts, Frisbees, and hacky sacks.

Because Qdoba never had a grand opening when it fi rst launched in the fall, this was the perfect time to celebrate—students had just returned from Winter Break for a new year and new quarter.

A week before the Welcome Back Party, anybody who made a purchase at Qdoba was given a raffl e ticket. Over 2,000 tickets were distributed. On the day of the event, fi ve lucky participants won a gift basket fi lled with a variety of Qdoba-themed gear and a Bronco gift card. The ultimate grand prize was a mountain bike, which was given to Olivia Glynn, a fi rst-year music student.

In the midst of the event, a fl ash mob erupted in front of Qdoba to the popular song “Gangnam Style” by PSY. While the music echoed throughout the BSC, the student club Ry Guy performed a synchronized dance routine for the nearby crowd. Moreover, the energetic group pushed tables and chairs aside for a moment of breakdancing.

There was a lot to celebrate and enjoy during Qdoba’s Welcome Back Party. Qdoba not only offers delectable, customizable food options, but its presence is a campus anomaly; Cal Poly Pomona is one of only six campuses nationwide and the fi rst university in California to have a Qdoba, making this dining venue a truly unique option for the Cal Poly Pomona campus community.

Have a Happy Retirement, La Vena!Aft er 26 years of working for the Foundation, Accounts Specialist La Vena Reyes has retired. For over two decades, La Vena demonstrated unparalleled dedication and hard work, and has created everlasting memories with her Foundation colleagues.

“I’ve worked with La Vena since I started working here 20 years ago,” expressed fellow Accounts Specialist Anna Raynor. “I can’t imagine how it’s going to be without her here. She has been a good and fun coworker, but most of all, a great friend.”

Financial Analyst Karen Sandoval describes La Vena as a person with “a positive attitude and outlook on life.”

“She will be missed dearly,” voiced Karen.

La Vena will miss her Foundation family as well.

“Being with them on a day to day basis, we have become so close. Over the years I have been through so much with them all. We’ve had good times and bad times, and have gone through so many ups and downs,” expressed La Vena. “I am going to miss all my friends here at the Foundation.”

On Wednesday, January 23, La Vena’s friends, family, and Foundation colleagues gathered in the Foundation offi ces to celebrate her retirement. It was an amiable aff air fi lled with laughter and tears.

During her retirement gathering, Accounts Payable Specialist Carrie Hampton described La Vena as “a woman of integrity” and noted that this characteristic is “something rare.”

Her valuable work ethic and aff able character will be missed by all.

We will miss you, La Vena!During her retirement gathering, La Vena

received a special gift from her Foundation coworkers.

The University Village has seen numerous staff changes within the last month. They have had to say goodbye to two Village employees and welcome two others into new positions.

Lisa De La Cruz-Caldera, who was the Village’s Assistant Director for Residential Education and Community Standards, accepted a position as Assistant Dean/Community Standards at Stanford University.

Ken Fisher, Director of Housing Programs and Services, called her departure “bittersweet,” and stated that she has left a legacy of accomplishments and goodwill.

“We of course, wish her well in her new role and appreciate her for her intelligence, balanced approach toward problem solving, kindness, and commitment to the ongoing improvement in the quality of residential life on our campus,” expressed Ken.

With every change such as this, an opportunity opens for another professional; David Laxamana, who was Residential Education Specialist for Living/Learning Programs and Professional Staff Development, has been appointed to Assistant Director for Residential Education and Community Standards.

“I’m excited that Dave has chosen to accept his new position and associated challenges,” voiced Ken.

David’s previous position has been fi lled by Geovanna Rojas, former Graduate Assistant for Residential Education.

The Village also said farewell to Davinah Simmons, their Community Development Specialist. Davinah has started a new journey at Northwestern University in Chicago as an Area Coordinator.

Congratulations to all on their new professional opportunities!

Bronco Bookstore & Affordable Course Materials: 2012-2013 Update

Winter 2013 marks mid-way through the second year of the Affordable Learning Initiative, and the second quar-ter of the CSU Rent Digital program for students. While it’s too early to fully compare results for 2011-2012 to this year, we can defi nitely report that the bookstore’s participation in the initiative is helping keep costs down for our students.

In 2011-2012, Bronco Bookstore’s range of affordable options and buyback program saved students over $1.7 million compared to buying all books new. At the mid-point of the Winter 2013 quarter, the total savings fi gure for 2012-2013 is already over $1.1 million. We project the total for this year will be at least $2 million.

Digital Options: CSU Rent Digital ProgramBronco Bookstore has been selling digital books via our Jumpbooks/CourseSmart platform since 2007; however until this year digital textbooks had not really caught on with faculty or students. But in spring 2012, the CSU negotiated with several major publishers and digital textbook companies for steep discounts on digital versions of selected books for CSU students. The result is the “CSU Rent Digital” which was rolled out to students in Fall 2012. So far this year, total digital sales have jumped from $16,500 to $41,300, saving students over $21,000 compared to buying a new printed book.

Textbook RentalsRentals continue to be a big part of our strategy for keeping course materials affordable for CPP students. In 2011-2012, rentals saved students $494,364 compared to purchasing books.

Used BooksUsed books make up about 45% of all books sold/rented, though the percentage varies by quarter. Over the past year we have greatly expanded our efforts to purchase used books from the cheapest sources possible, so that we can price our used books more competitively with online sellers. Rather than pricing all used books at 25% less than the new retail price, we now evaluate our total cost of goods for all used books, and price as close to the market as we can and still maintain our necessary margins for textbooks. The result is that even as publisher new prices continue to rise, our average price for used books (rented and sold combined) has dropped from $54 in 2009-2010 to $42 so far this year.

Alternate Formats, Customization, and Custom Course Packs

We actively encourage faculty to take advantage of the advances in “Smart Custom” books offered by most of the publishers. Requesting books that include just the material covered in a course is far easier now than it was just a few years ago; while they need more lead time than standard texts, most publishers no longer require lengthy adoption commitments or large enrollment numbers to produce a custom book. Savings for students can be signifi cant, depending on the publisher and the book—up to 30% off the regular retail price. And once a department adopts a customized book, as long as they continue using the same version, we will buy it back custom and sell used copies.

We also match adopted texts with less expensive identical-content formats ( i.e. looseleaf or ‘binder ready’) whenever that option is available from the publisher.

Our in-house custom publishing service is another cost-saving solution for faculty who create their own materials or assemble a course-pack rather than adopting published textbooks. We take care of all required copyright clearances for course-packs, and make all the arrangements to produce faculty materials for sale here at the store. Where a nationally produced and marketed hardback textbook may cost between $100-$200 depending on the discipline, our most expensive faculty authored title sells for less than $40.

Keeping textbook costs down for students is something our store has been committed to for years. Our staff works hard to research options and stay current with the latest developments in textbooks, and to adapt new business practices that maintain the viability of the store at the same time as remaining competitive. With support and cooperation from our faculty and academic community, we’ll continue to innovate and look for new ways to provide students the materials they need at the best possible value.

Foundation Sponsors Chamber of Commerce LuncheonTh e Foundation is proud to have been one of the President Club Sponsors at the Pomona Chamber of Commerce Holiday Luncheon, which was held on December 12, 2012 at the Avalon Fairplex.

Various Foundation representatives attended the event, including staff from Kellogg West, the Farm Store, Campus Catering, and Real Estate. Approximately 150 people from local community businesses were present at the luncheon.

Randall Townsend, who was recently promoted to Foundation Director of Information Technology, has successfully re-certifi ed through the PMI governing body as a Project Management Professional.

Th e Project Management Professional Certifi cate (PMP) is a globally recognized credential representing a highly experienced group of 300,000 project management practitioners worldwide. Initial certifi cation requires a minimum of 3 years project management experience, a bachelor’s degree, 35 hours of specialized training, and successful completion of a 4 hour 200 question exam. Maintaining the credential requires an additional 60 hours of continuing education every three years. Standards for the certifi cate are rigidly maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

PMP certifi cation provides the organization with project managers who have learned state-of-the-art global project management practices. Th e certifi cation shows competence and discipline in understanding and using internationally proven project standards, processes and terminology. Th is in turn provides managers the ability to initiate, execute and close projects with a much higher likelihood of success.

Certifi cation requires excellence in communication and human resource management skills which capitalizes on diverse team expertise and collaborative eff orts. PMP credential holders must adhere to a strict code of ethics and professional conduct demonstrating reliability and project team integrity. Certifi cation and ongoing professional development activities help credentialed managers maintain a competitive edge while providing the organization repeatable project success, higher retention of professional staff and long term excellence in the workforce.

Randall has maintained continuous PMP certifi cation since 2003.

The College of Business faculty and staff have been housed in Building 66 for many years. With the completion of the College of Business Administration Complex, they have moved to their new vicinity, giving the Foundation the opportunity to spruce up the 2nd fl oor offi ces and classroom areas in Building 66. The offi ces and hallways got new paint, cleaned carpet and cleaned ceilings, new signage, and general maintenance. In addition, a lighting retrofi t was completed with some updated lights in the classrooms as well. All of this was completed in time for faculty and staff from Kinesiology to move into their new offi ces along with some members of CLASS as well. So far, our new residents are very happy with their new offi ces and we are pleased to welcome them to Building 66.
