[cid:image003.jpg@01DA962F.C907C590] Please read and distribute as needed. Transition to Firefly Travel (Request and Expense) Expense reports for Concur travel requests need to be submitted as soon as possible, as Concur Requests and Expense will be decommissioned on June 15, 2024. * The process for booking air, hotel, and car rentals will remain in Concur, the tool used by the university’s travel management company. Do not cancel or reschedule reservations for airfare, car, or hotel. * Approved travel requests in Concur for future travel after April 15, 2024, need to be recreated in Firefly (this needs to be done by the traveler or a delegate – it is not an automated process). A detailed Q&A is posted on the University’s website<https://nebraska.edu/-/media/projects/unca/docs/travel/travel-resources/qui…>. Faculty and staff with additional questions may contact the University of Nebraska’s Travel Office through an online form <https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0b5f2a4be5ac4769a89fca0f44bf97cf> or by emailing traveloffice(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:traveloffice@nebraska.edu>.

The rate is only available when booking through Concur. For groups of ten or more, please contact the hotel directly. Assigning a Delegate Employees can assign a delegate to prepare non-travel expense reports, travel requests, and expense reports; however, only the employee can submit on their behalf. When assigning a delegate, select Delegate Travel Entry. Note: if an employee was mistakenly assigned as a Travel and Expense Approver, please delete the entry; otherwise, the delegate will receive approval notifications instead of the approver.

Dear Colleagues, Many thanks to all of you who have attended seminars and interacted with our department head candidates over the past three weeks! All have been very impressed with our department, our people, and our possibilities for the future. The search committee needs your help one more time: Please provide us with your feedback on each candidate! You can find links on our search website<https://ianr.unl.edu/head-department-food-science-and-technology> for the surveys, which will be open until April 24 at 5 pm. We want to hear from everyone—students, staff, and faculty—who interacted with the candidates, even if they only time was during their seminar. Both the search committee and Vice Chancellor Boehm will be reading and considering all the feedback received. Also, if you didn’t have a chance to attend the seminars, you can also find all the recordings on our search website<https://ianr.unl.edu/head-department-food-science-and-technology>. Again, thank you very much for participating in our search process! Amanda -- Amanda E.
