Des Moines Civic Center Now Des Moines Performing Arts
As the college has a partnership with the Des Moines Civic Center that allows our faculty and staff to purchase discount E-Tickets to select shows, we would like to share the exciting news that the Civic Center is now known as Des Moines Performing Arts. Please see the official announcement attached to this email.
This change has no effect on our partnership or the discount E-ticket purchase process. One important change you do need to be aware of is their new website: http://www.desmoinesperformingarts.org/
If you have never purchased E-tickets through the discount program before, you can find instructions to do so by logging into your college Pioneer Web account at: https://pioneerweb.grinnell.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp. Once logged into your P-web account, click on the "Community" tab near the top, center of the page. Look on your page for the"My Organizations Plus" content area. The "Employment Resources" organization will be in the list of "organizations in which you are participating". After you click on the "Employment Resources" link you will see the "DSM Performing Arts" link on the left.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Human Resources.
Faculty/Staff Connect Lunches
Ever wonder what the people across campus or down the hall are like, or what they care about? Join your colleagues for the weekly Faculty/Staff Connect lunches. These informal lunches give you the opportunity to meet people from across campus, to chat with close colleagues, and to help improve the community at the College.
Faculty/Staff Connect meets every Tuesday from 11:30 to 1:00 pm. in the Marketplace Pavilion (the "whale room" at the West end of the dining hall). Pay regular Marketplace rates at the door or stop in the Dining Services office (JRC 2nd floor) to purchase five meals (with cash or personal check) for only $25 ($5 for each meal!). Feel free to join us weekly, monthly, or whenever you find it convenient!
