Service Topics
Oceanography staff are able to book flights for faculty, staff and students and make hotel reservations in certain circumstances. This includes personal travel.
How that works for personal travel:
You send us your dates and to-from locations of travel for UW-business and the same for the personal portion. Send us all the worktags (cost center, grant numbers, etc.). Let us know if you need hotel as well. We'll work with our travel agency, Tangerine Travel (TT). After flights are selected, the School will be billed for the UW-business itinerary. If the personal travel itinerary is less than the UW-business portion, you won't see a charge. If the personal travel itinerary is more than the UW-business itinerary, you will pay the difference plus a $30 fee.
For hotel, TT will book it and send a confirmation but you will be asked on check-in to for your credit card.
Restrictions on hotel reservations:
We can only book for 1) students; 2) groups of 5+ faculty/staff. For 2) email the administrator at least three weeks in advance because this needs to be approved in advance.
Faculty, staff and students who are not MarOps: email Taylor Hospenthal. If Taylor is out, email Monica Cohn.
People
My name is Taylor and I am the Assistant to the Director. My role focuses on supporting the director, but I also support the School by working with faculty and postdocs on hiring/reappointing, sabbatical, promotion, academic appointments, affiliate status, visas, etc. I also coordinate School events, department travel, room reservations, and can assist with Workday issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions, my door is always open!
