When was the last time you rode a
bus? Now, there is an opportunity to take a short trip! Security will
be tight!
A bus trip is being planned for anyone who would like to travel to Mayville State University for the men's basketball game on Tuesday, November 27. The bus will leave at 6:00 p.m. (note change in departure time) and return at about 11:00 p.m. The bus will leave from Robertson Hall parking lot. A 47-passenger bus is being reserved. At least 20 passengers are necessary in order for us to financially make the trip. The cost for 20 people would be $25 roundtrip that includes game ticket. The cost for 25 people would be $21 roundtrip that includes game ticket. The cost will be dependent upon the number of people traveling on the bus. The more the merrier!!

Continuing Education
In the next couple of weeks there
are three events that you may want to alert your students to. At these
events students attending will be issued certificates of attendance.
Students can use these certificates to document their attendance for
class use and/or use them to start a portfolio that will help them
document their own learning. This is a process we hope to continue into
next semester and next year.
As we begin more and more conversations about self directed learning and the use of portfolios, faculty encouragement of attendance and faculty involvement in the reflection on these activities is crucial. I hope all of you will consider how these activities can enhance and enliven student learning on the campus and in your classes.

Thank You
Thanks
so much to all those who were able to donate blood at UMC's first blood
drive of the academic year. It was a huge success! United Blood
Services was able to collect 53 units of blood that day! A new record
high for UMC! Again, on behalf of the Student Athletic Advisory
Committee and Student Health, a very sincere thank you to each and every
one of you who were able to contribute to this important event. We hope
to see all of you at the next blood drive which is Tuesday, February 5,
2002.
