Full story.

Summer orientation advisers sought
Faculty and teaching academic staff members are invited to apply to become 2004 summer orientation advisers. The positions are 37½ percent summer positions.

Training sessions will be held June 14 and 15, 2004. Fifteen one-day sessions will be held during the first four weeks of the eight-week summer session, June 16-July 8, 2004. In addition, advisers will be involved in one-day orientation programs for new students Aug. 23, 2004, and in January 2005.

Individuals selected for these positions must be current members of the faculty or teaching academic staff who have a commitment to advising, a “track-record” of good advising, and a real interest in working with first-year students. Preference will be given to people who have assigned advisees within their departments and will continue to have advisees during the next year.

Applications are due Monday, Dec. 1. Applications and more information can be obtained by calling 836-5053 or by sending e-mail to Sarah Johnson at johnsarm@uwec.edu.

Deadline for scheduling distance education announced
The WONDER consortium requires that any summer, fall or spring 2004-05 offering utilizing the WONDER technology be submitted by Dec. 1. WONDER offerings must originate from a distance education classroom or conference room (OL 1130). For these reasons it is necessary to implement an earlier UW-Eau Claire deadline for receipt of summer, fall or spring 2004-05 requests for scheduling of the distance education classrooms. The deadline is Nov. 26.

Any requests for offerings that utilize WONDER must be submitted by that date. Although requests to use the rooms for other delivery methods still will be accepted after that date, the room already may be scheduled for WONDER. (Therefore, if you plan to offer a course of any type in one of the distance education classrooms, you may wish to submit your request before Nov. 26.)

If you have questions about scheduling a distance education course, contact Andrea Jones at jonesas@uwec.edu or 836-2424.
