| SUNY POTSDAM IS NOW A CIVIL SERVICE PILOT TEST SITE How many of you have trudged to Watertown or Saranac Lake, during the worst winter weather conditions, to take a promotional or entry exam? Well, that is an issue that we brought to Mary Dolan in Human Resources, and after a year of diligent advocating with Civil Service, she has been successful. In January, SUNY Potsdam became a pilot test site for some of the upcoming Civil Service exams. Now, this is only a pilot program. It is up to Albany to ultimately decide if we were justified in our request to become a test site. They will be watching to see if this test site can garner enough people to make it a viable venture for the future. Stay tuned and we will keep you informed. |
