Payroll

Paycheck Advices-Direct Deposit Reminder
In an effort to go Green, HR/Payroll and IT are happy to inform employees that we will no longer print Direct Deposit Paycheck Advices as of September 1, 2009. You will have access to your paycheck through the Employee Online Account. At your own leisure and convenience you can view and print all pay information online (advices/checks stubs).
The link to online services is located at: Online Services. The Pay Advices online have all the information needed for any business transaction requiring an ACC payment status.
If you do not have direct deposit, you will receive your paycheck at the usual paycheck location. We hope you will consider direct deposit and assist the college in its efforts to go Green. You can sign up for direct deposit at: http://www.austincc.edu/hr/payroll/directdeposit.php.

Professional Development

Piper Professor Nominations Due October 2nd
It is time for ACC full-time faculty to choose a nominee for the 2010 Minnie Stevens Piper Professor award, a statewide award for college faculty. The Piper Foundation reviews nominee materials and chooses those who will receive the prestigious award, which includes a $5000 prize.
You are invited to nominate one of your colleagues. The nomination should be no longer than two pages and should specifically include references to the faculty member’s

•Current additional or administrative duties
•Service to the off-campus community
•Particular effectiveness in the classroom and in personal contact with students
•Unusual dedication to the profession of teaching

Please email your nomination of a full-time faculty member to Ms. Nicole Bell ([email protected]) in the Professional Development & Evaluation Programs office by October 2, 2009. Nominations received after that date cannot be considered. Immediately after the nomination deadline, the Teaching Awards committee, made up of ACC faculty, will select ACC’s nominee.

Before you nominate anyone for this award, you must first secure his or her permission, and you must clearly state in the nomination that you have received the permission. Receiving permission is essential because completing the Piper nomination form requires much time and information gathering by both the nominee and either a dean or department chair.
ACC’s nominee must submit a Piper Professor Nomination application to the Piper Foundation by November 25, 2009. The Foundation will officially announce award winners by May 3, 2010.
To honor the nominee, regardless of selection by the Piper Foundation, the Professional Development and Evaluation Programs office will give the nominee a free registration to TCCTA’s Round-Up for Great Teaching in May 2010.
For more information and to view the nomination forms which the ACC nominee will be required to complete and submit to the Piper Foundation, you may go to http://www.window.state.tx.us/scholars/programs/ppnominationform.html. If you have any questions, please contact Terry Stewart Mouchayleh, Director of Professional Development & Evaluation Programs at 223-7748.
