We are going to be replacing some failed motors on the exhaust fan system at Linus Pauling. This
will affect all fume hoods. The dates for this work is June 21st thru June 23rd. All fume hoods will
have low flow so they will be inoperable during this time. There will be a shutdown notice coming
out and then as we get closer I will send out a reminder.
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

Now that we are into May, we are fast approaching OSU’s June 30^th Fiscal Year End!  As such, beginning this month, we will be starting to have deadlines related to closing out the fiscal year.  Please see the email below from Business Affairs for the first set of these deadlines (including one, for very large requisitions, which is as early as the end of this week).  As more of these reminders come out from Business Affairs we will continue to forward them, highlighting those that we feel are most important to departments at this stage.

**Please share the information and deadlines with others in your department that may need to know this information.**

As we start to move into the closing process, now would also be a really good time to ask everyone to do a thorough review of your accounts and submit to ASBC any needed changes ASAP so we can get corrections made before the relevant deadlines.

Please let us know if you have questions.

Thanks!

Nick Dollar, CPA | Interim Finance & Accounting Manager
