2.    MyPath Training – message from Mary Schutten

Dear Colleagues,

As you return from spring break, please note that the final training session for beta testing MyPath software is Monday, March 15. A project like this that is intended to help students and advisors is only successful when the programming accurately reflects the many majors and minors found within our college (about 1900 programs in this college). We thank you for all of the information that has been forwarded to the registrar to date and request that those who have not yet done so , please submit your information related to your 2010-2011programs soon.

Please note the registrar is very grateful for the information to date but is in need of all this information very soon:

Review of the 2010-2011 programs is needed by April 1, 2010.

Ultimately, all eight catalog year reviews for each major/minor are also needed, the sooner the better.

Send all information to Jerry Montag.

~Mary

 

3.    Talk at GVSU's Allendale Campus on the impact of war on children, Friday, 4/19 (attachment)

 

Dear colleagues:

 

Attached please find a poster advertising two talks to be given this week at Calvin College and at GVSU respectively by Dr. Izzeldin Abuealish.

 

Dr. Abuealish, a specialist in fetal medicine who is currently teaching at the University of Toronto, will speak about the impact of war and other forms of conflict on the children of Gaza, a subject he knows intimately both as a medical practitioner and as a father who lost three daughters in last year's attack on the Strip.

 

Should you need more information about Dr. Abuelaish, I'd be happy to pass along an article on him that appeared in a Toronto newspaper, as well as his CV. In any event, I cordially invite you and your students to attend Friday's 11:00 a.m. talk in 103 Loutit Hall in the Henry Building on the Allendale campus. (Dr. Abuelaish will also be speaking at Calvin College on the previous evening at 7:00. See the attached poster for details.)

 

Many thanks,

 

David Alvarez

Associate Professor of English
