Blaze Bulletin
Edition 11 Week of November 6th
Greetings...
Dear teachers/staff:
Just a shout out to teachers and staff for working quickly this week to help two students who were in crisis. Teaching/instruction is a huge part of what we do, but the emotional support is so critical. I know there are a lot of expectations on all of you, but I thank you - and note - that you go above and beyond daily.
Enjoy the weekend and - don't forget to "fall back" your clocks,

Just a reminder to be mindful of the computer lab calendar and reservations. Please check the calendar carefully to make sure that someone else has not already signed up for the time you wanted. There is no way to block out the time so it is possible for teachers to create a double booked lab. We go by who reserved the location first if this happens ( the reservations are date and time stamped). Thank you!
Reminder about Technology Work Orders....
update of where the Large COW and Small COW are now located.
The Large COW is now housed in the Dean's Office (next to Noffsinger's room D-01).
