ANNOUNCEMENTS
GOGGLEWORKS FESTIVAL FEATURES KU FACULTY, STUDENTS
The GoggleWorks Theater, Reading, Pennsylvania, will present a festival of contemporary animated shorts and a panel discussion about "Careers in Animation," Saturday, July 10, and Tuesday, July 14. The audience will be treated to a screening of the 2021 Oscar-Nominated Animated Shorts and a curated reel of experimental films by young animators. "We selected works based on interesting techniques, from traditional 2-D animation to stop-motion, layered films and looping GIFs. Animation is an in-demand skill and there are so many different ways to go about it," said associate professor Ann Lemon, who worked with professors Leigh Kane and Michael Covello to create the program. Kutztown University alumni and students were featured.

HR MOVE
Human Resources will be moving from the Kemp Building, Monday June 28, and will be operating remotely until late July. Onsite fingerprinting will be suspended until we are relocated into the former Admissions House. Staff are available by phone, email, AskHR or Zoom, and may be available in person on campus by advance arrangement. If you need to speak with someone, voicemail messages will be checked regularly and returned in a reasonable amount of time. If immediate attention is needed, please call Danielle Santos at 610-683-4700. We appreciate your patience during this transition.
