*Newsletter – October 14*

*Farnsworth Forum Free to URock Students*

Angela Miller, a professor at the University of Washington, in St. Louis, is
the primary author of perhaps the most-utilized and acclaimed textbook on
art history, and she is appearing at the Farnsworth Forum
<http://www.rocklandstrand.com/detail.html?id=693>on Monday evening, October
25, at the Strand Theater in Rockland at 6:00PM. *The event is free to all
URock students!* Great opportunity!

*Join the Lip Dub*

Some URockers want to make a lip dub! A *lip dub* is a type of video that
combines lip synching <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip_synch> and audio
dubbing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubbing_%28music%29> to make a music
video <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_video>. We’ve got the talent and
the music. If you are interested in participating, contact Deb at
[log in to unmask] and let her know you want to be a part! Join the
fun!

*Prep for Flu Season – 10/19*

Meet staff from the Maine Center for Disease Control and learn about good
prep for flu season as well as vaccines and the latest info on H1N1. This
info session will be held at noon on October 19th in room #403. If you are
wondering where you can get a flu shot, go to American Lung Association at
http://www.lungusa.org/lung-disease/influenza/flu-vaccine-finder/ and type
in your zip code. This list includes many of the supermarket and drug store
clinics.

*Guess the Candy Count!*

Check out the jar of yummies on the front office counter. Come closest to
guessing the right number of pieces of candy and win the jar! The drawing
will occur on Oct. 29.

*Saturday Hours?*

Some students in ENG 317W are circulating a questionnaire about Saturday
hours at URock. Copies of the questionnaire are available at the front
counter, too. Take a minute and give your opinion.

*The Student Association Meets Friday, 10/15 at noon*

The URock Student Association is a great way to get involved in the URock
community and to show leadership skills. Their next meeting will be Friday,
October 15th, at noon in the lounge. Guest Joan Vargas from the Humane
Society of Knox County will share specific needs for student volunteers.

*Pop! Tech Comes to URock*

The world class event of Pop! Tech
<http://www.poptech.org/poptech_2010>will be videostreamed at URock on
Thursday and Friday (Oct 21 & 22) from
9:00AM to 4:00PM. So, pull up a chair in room #403, enjoy some popcorn and
soak up their world-changing people, projects and ideas.

*Job Notices – Check the Bulletin Board*

URock is often contacted by local employers looking to hire. Sometimes it is
a strain on a business to conduct a wide scale employee search and so they
look to the university as a reliable source of capable, talented employees.
If you are job hunting, be sure to check the bulletin board outside of
Beverly’s office for postings. We hang notices the minute we get them.

*Student Discount Cards*

Please pick up your laminated student discount card in the front office. See
here for a list of businesses offering discounts.
