Business Tips

In order to follow proper business procedures, as well as University guidelines, financial transactions should be entered into Quicken (or your department’s reconciliation database) as they occur. These entries should not be made when the statements are made available each month and simply copied from the statement. Departments are responsible for keeping up-to-date accounting ledgers so a current available balance in each subaccount can be viewed at any time.

Wellness Tips


Most people know that obesity can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Now there is new research that indicates that waist size, more than weight, is a stronger predictor for heart disease. What this means is that a person’s weight does not tell the whole story because it doesn’t distinguish between good, lean muscle weight and the harmful weight from excess fat. When it comes to BMI, a muscular person with lots of lean muscle and less fat may still have a high BMI, so the BMI is not as helpful when assessing a person’s health risks. The waist size is much more helpful since it is an indicator of a person’s body shape, and when overweight fat tends to accumulate in the belly, the heart is adversely affected. So try to pay more attention to the way your clothing fits rather than the number on the scale, because as you exercise, you will accumulate some lean body mass and lose fat mass.  This may mean that the number on the scale won’t move much, but you are still getting leaner and healthier.
