Welcome to budget season! When the academic year ends and most students head home
for the summer, the ramp-up for fiscal year close-out (and restart) begins. Although
you may not see it because this work is often behind the scenes, there is a flurry
of activity for fiscal professionals this time of year. If you pass by your fiscal
or procurement office and the person there (or online) looks frazzled, thank them
for their efforts and help keep them motivated! The deadlines are fast approaching
and the pace to keep up means many folks are scheduling their summer vacations around
these closing and opening fiscal activities to ensure it all gets done on time.
National Pollinator Week is June 19-25, and Georgeson Botanical Garden is highlighting
its exhibits explaining what these beneficial insects and animals do.
