Subject: CTL professional travel funds: Important Notice
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message:
The Center for Teaching and Learning has committed the yearly amount of regular professional travel funds for conferences and is no longer accepting applications. The good news is we have supported many faculty this past summer and fall and have approved proposals already submitted
for upcoming conferences this spring. In fact, we were able to award more than our budget line for faculty conferences. There are still summer research, international travel and some Bush Funds available. Please also note that Dean Farley and the Committee are working on a plan to co-ordinate Dean's office and CTL travel funds into one easier to access location beginning next academic year. Please watch for notification of changes later this spring.

Subject: Professor letters from CLASS and Access students
Submitter: Regina Hopingardner, Administrative Assistant, CLASS Program

Message: Faculty: Students will be letting you know that they work with either the CLASS Office or the Access Center by giving you a letter to sign. It lists the accommodations a student is eligible for and the name of the specialist working with that student. The back of the letter details the procedure faculty should follow when a student is taking a test in the Groves Lab.

Please sign any letters you receive and keep the white copy for your records. Students can only take exams with us if they give you the letter and return the signed yellow copy to us. They must then fill out a proctor request form for each test.

If you have any questions, please call us at x1053. We have more faculty information at: www.augsburg.edu/classprogram/faculty.html

Subject: 2007-2008 Classroom Preferences Form
Submitter: Marie J Odenbrett, Scheduling Coordinator, Event and Classroom Services

Message: Classroom scheduling for the 07-08 school year is right around the corner, and this year we will be implementing the automated scheduling features in our scheduling program Ad Astra. To make sure that the program works efficiently we need to collect updated classroom preferences from all departments for courses that have specific needs such as data projectors or computers for students. There are also some classes that need to meet in specific rooms because it is the only room on campus that has the equipment that a course might need. Please return the complete Classroom Preference Form to Events Services CB #64.

A pdf version of the "Classroom Preferences Form" can now be accessed from the lower right corner of the Registrar's webpage under Faculty Information. www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar/index.html

All other classroom change request should now be sent to roomrequest@augsburg.edu.

Subject: Anyone have a bike trainer?
Submitter: Elizabeth M Popelka, Student

Message: The Pedalers for Peace are in need of a bike trainer to help prepare them for the summer alternative break trip from Jackson, Mississippi to New Orleans. If you have a trainer that you are not using and would be willing to lend it to the bike group, we would be extremely appreciative. The trainer would stay at the Hope House living room and would be used from now to either immediately before or after the Augsburg spring break (March 16 - 25 ). If you would need it prior to that, we would gladly return it whenever you would like.

If you would be willing to bring the trainer to Augsburg that would be ideal, but we are also willing to pick it up from your home. We promise to take excellent care of your trainer!

If you are willing to let us borrow your bike trainer, or know of someone else who might be willing, please email me at popelka@augsburg.edu

Thanks! Betsy and the Pedalers for Peace
