Employee feedback wanted

Human Resources is introducing a new employee survey that will be distributed to a random group of employees on a monthly basis beginning in June. Feedback will allow Human Resources greater access to employee issues and assist in providing information, offering quality programs, and addressing other important matters in a timely fashion. Responses will remain confidential, with completed surveys being returned directly to the survey vendor. Contact Doris Robinson at x3-4644 with questions.

Gallery announces new hours

Beginning on July 11, the Memorial Art Gallery will extend hours to 9 p.m. on Thursdays and close at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays. With the change, Thursday also becomes the gallery's reduced admission night as well as the night for 6:30 tours, "What's Up" lectures, and other evening programs.

The gallery is modifying hours to accommodate a local trend of the Rochester Philharmonic, George Eastman House, Geva Theatre, and others to offer Thursday evening programming. The gallery hopes to participate in what has become Rochester's unofficial "culture night."
