DID YOU KNOW UofL is one of 25 community organizations participating in Louisville’s Bold Moves Against Suicide program. The group is working toward the city’s collective interest in eliminating suicide by embracing the Zero Suicide framework. UofL’s participation is part of the Cards SPEAK program to participate with community partners on suicide prevention efforts.
Faculty and staff notables UofL researchers in the School of Medicine, led by principal investigator Susan Harkema, associate director of UofL’s Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center and professor of neurosurgery, have received approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to begin enrolling participants in a feasibility study that will further explore the life-enhancing effects of epidural stimulation on people with spinal cord injury.

Miscellaneous New Service Catalog for Information TechnologyOn Friday, December 15, during the PM window, Information Technology will implement a new service catalog to better connect with those looking for technology solutions. With the new service catalog, IT can do much more than track incidents. Look for a user-friendly service portal to better organize issues and requests for quicker accountable resolutions for customers. The catalog will also help provide information on tech services offered to the campus community. OnBase offline this weekendInformation Technology’s upgrade of the OnBase system is rescheduled for this weekend. Please note this maintenance is outside of our regular PM window and OnBase will be unavailable from Friday, Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. until Monday, Dec. 18 at 8 a.m. This upgrade will include all document management applications, workflows and scanning.
