Our Lady of the Lake University’s Human Resources Department has placed viable 403(b) information on the myOLLU Portal Human Resources page in an effort to help employees make well-informed decisions about investing for their retirement. Federal regulations require the Human Resources Department to provide specific plan and investment information on an annual basis that includes detailed information about investment options and expenses associated with those investments.

No action is required at this time; however, the information is being provided as required. (NOTE: Although employees may not participate with all of the investment providers listed below, information is being made available on the myOLLU Portal so that employees may review the information relevant to the plan(s) in which they are currently enrolled).

The 2013 OLLU Service-Learning Faculty Fellows participated in an intensive, weeklong training about the service-learning pedagogy and then worked all summer with the Center for Service-Learning and Volunteerism (CSLV) to redesign one of their courses to integrate an experiential learning component. Faculty can contact Jennifer Bendele at jbendele@lake.ollusa.edu for more information about how to incorporate service-learning in their classes.
