Overview

Have you wished there was a way to meet and network with CALS employees that do the same job as you? Have you ever wished to there was a way to find out if another department has already jumped through the hoops to purchase that one-of-a-kind piece of equipment? Have you wondered if there was a way to get an idea out there and get some feedback? Well guess what, there is a way.

CALS Business Services and the CALS Research Division has created a group called the CALS Financial Networking Group. They have teamed up to offer sessions geared towards topics you want to know about, as well as created an email listserve.


The targeted personnel groups for these sessions are are:

  • financial specialists,
  • accountants,
  • payroll coordinators,
  • university service associates,
  • and grants contract specialists.
    • You do not need to have one of these titles to attend or join. This is an open group.


All meetings will be announced via (1) this website, (2) the listserve email, and (3) eCALS. The listserve email created for this group is the main source of communication. It can be used to send a question to others in the group when searching for help. The listserve email address is cals_financials@lists.wisc.edu.

The group typically meets monthly during the academic year for 1 to 2 hours. During Fall 2012, meetings will usually be on the fourth Tuesday of each month, however the schedule is subject to change.

If you are interested in joining the listserve and the CALS Financial Networking group, please email Sandy Fowler at sfowler@cals.wisc.edu.

No Cost Extensions (NCEs)

The topic for this meeting will be no cost extensions (NCE). What do you do when a professor tells you that his or her project has been extended? What is the next step? Do you need a WISPER record?

Casey Hillmer, of CALS, will answer these questions and more.
