    What You’ll Learn: * Why privacy matters * Privacy regulations * Privacy in practice * ASU privacy resources
  • Workday Check-Ins: Information session to introduce ASU's new employee feedback tool and answer questions about the process. This session will provide an overview of both the employee and manager roles in the process.
  • Culture + Creativity + Swag = Win Win Win: Help us create something visual and collective that celebrates who we are! You’ll create a mini masterpiece that reflects our team’s culture, values, and spirit. Once complete, pieces will come together in a stunning mosaic - a visual high-five to who we are and what we stand for. Perk Alert: In exchange for your completed mini masterpiece, you'll earn 1 check-in toward a custom State 48 T-shirt!
