    Supervisors and employees should ensure that injury/accident reports are submitted to the Office of Human Resources and Risk Management within 24 hours of the incident.

    Previous university experience a plus. The Sr Secretary position has been vacant for over three years. Numerous attempts to fill this position in Houston have failed. The position is also not able to be reclassified as an Administrative Assistant position in Houston.

    Post-COVID, many abilities are available for the Sr Secretary to assist Houston remotely, and with a change of Denton faculty, the need for an in-person Sr Secretary is greater in Denton.
