Two Options for Pima FAW Group Fitness Classes
Two Pima classes offer employees options to improve their fitness while sampling various activities either in-person or virtually.

Sign up for the one-credit FAW100F1 (CRN 12236) and get access to two hours of fitness classes each week. That’s two classes per week. If you want more options, sign up for the two-credit FAW100F2 (CRN 12237) and get access to four hours (four classes) each week. For either class, you can vary the classes you take each week. They range from yoga to cardio cross-training, strength and flexibility training and Zumba. See Pima Fitness & Wellness Fall 2022 Schedule and Pima Fitness & Wellness Flyer for more information. Or see the full FAW100 Schedule.

If you have questions about FAW110 Fitness Center access, email John Kordich, jkordich@pima.edu.

IF you have questions about FAW100 Group Fitness access, email Fitness and Wellness Department Head Nancy Gamboian, ngamboian@pima.edu.

Learning Center Classroom Visits
Please help Pima get the word out to students about its Learning Centers. Using campus Learning Centers increases student success. Faculty, one of the best ways to encourage students to use the services is to request a Learning Center team member visit your class for a few minutes or schedule a tour of your campus Learning Center with your class. To arrange a class visit, schedule a tour or get more information on tutoring, contact your campus Learning Center or email pcc-tutoring@pima.edu.

Also, in-person and virtual tutoring at all Learning Centers begins Aug. 29 for the fall semester. Contact your campus Learning Center or email pcc-tutoring@pima.edu for more information.

macOS Upgrades
Pima IT staff are upgrading College desktops and laptops from macOS Catalina (10.15) to macOS Big Sur (11.0) or macOS Monterey (12.0), depending on hardware compatibility. These upgrades are available in Self Service. This can be done at home or on campus. Once you have started the upgrade, this can take some time depending on internet speed. If you have questions, create an IT Support ticket in TeamDynamix or call the IT Service Desk, 520-206-4900.

Release of Concur Next Generation User Interface (NextGen UI)
SAP will be releasing the NextGen UI to all Pima employees on Oct. 1. The NextGen UI for Concur will provide a more intuitive, integrated and efficient experience for submitting requests and expenses. Travel Services will be offering demos specific to the NextGen UI Aug. 22-Sept. 30. We also will offer training from October through December. Please click to access the Concur NextGen UI Demo Schedule, NextGen UI Training Schedule and other valuable resources. If you have any questions, email pcc-travel@pima.edu.
