It is the desire of MTSA to appropriately remember individuals and their family members by sending memorial and/or get-well recognitions in the form of cards, flowers, memorial gifts or other special remembrances in the event of death, illness or hospitalization. In order to provide guidance and consistency for MTSA Administration and Staff as to when memorial and get-well recognitions should be sent and to whom, the following guidelines have been established:
The following groups are eligible:
- MTSA Administrators, Faculty and Staff and their immediate family
- MTSA students and their immediate family
- MTSA Alumni
- MTSA Trustees and Committee members and their immediate family.
NOTE: Immediate family is defined as spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, mother-in-law, and father-in-law. Any variance will need approval of President’s Council or Administration.
PROCEDURE:
Notification: In case of a student family event, the staff member receiving the information from the student or from the Program Administrator should inform other on-campus staff members by internal email. All MTSA staff must assist and help communicate names, addresses and pertinent details for thoughtful and careful follow-through.
Recognition: MTSA’s Research and Library Assistant will be responsible for placing orders to the florist, obtaining cards or gifts, etc.
