Undergraduate catalogues for 2008-09 available
Distribution of the 2008-09 undergraduate catalogues to faculty, academic staff and administrative offices began the week of April 28. If you did not receive a catalogue and would like one, contact Pamela Scheible at scheibps@uwec.edu or 836-5845.

Remember power-saving computer practices
To help reduce costly electrical bills, the Physical Plant Planning Committee of the University Senate, Facilities Planning and Management, and Learning and Technology Services urges university employees to:

1. Turn computer monitors and printers off at night. Do not turn off CPUs/towers. LTS has been remotely turning them to "stand by" mode via Microsoft's Systems Management Server. Leaving CPUs/towers in "stand by" mode uses very little energy. In "stand by" mode computers can be "woken up" remotely — for LTS to scan for viruses or for users to control computers remotely. Also, "stand by" mode allows for quick startup for returning users.
2. For weekends and short vacations, turn off monitors and printers, and shut down CPUs.
3. For extended absences, continue turning off monitors and printers and shutting down CPUs. Be aware that for the first hour after computers are turned back on, they will be slow as some automatic system updating is performed.

Proposed changes in College of Education and Human Sciences
Following are proposed program changes in the College of Education and Human Sciences, which were approved by the College of Education and Human Sciences Academic Curriculum Committee. If you have questions or concerns, contact Jeff Lindauer at lindaujr@uwec.edu or 836-2636 within 15 days of this notice in the University Bulletin.
