Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the April edition of Your CUHR (Columbia University Human Resources) Connection, designed to provide a snapshot of what Human Resources offers you.
News
- It’s important to have accurate and updated information on file with Human Resources. To review and update your information, go to my.columbia.edu, click the PAC icon, then click on Personal Details. You can then make necessary updates to addresses, contact details and other information. For changes you cannot make yourself, please reach out to your department administrator.
- For the second consecutive year, Columbia University has been selected as one of the best workplaces for commuters! The University achieved the honor through a range of environmentally friendly commute options that support sustainability initiatives and offer resources to benefit employees. You can also learn more about the tax savings benefits available to you, whether take the train, bus or car to work.
Your Benefits
- All faculty and staff who cover a spouse on a health plan should have received information recently about confirming their spouse’s eligibility. To learn more about the verification process, visit the Benefits website. To complete the process itself, log in to CUBES.
- Looking to expand your skill set? LinkedIn Learning has short videos and self-guided courses to build on your experience. Take advantage of Columbia University’s subscription to LinkedIn Learning and explore unlimited access to more than 16,000 courses.
