URock staff can help you to access those policies.

*New Test Taking Policy – Bring an ID!*

URock will be checking ID’s for those taking make-up tests during our
proctored test times on Tuesdays at 8:00AM and Fridays at 4:00PM.

*URock Goes Bowling!*

The Student Association will sponsor a URock Bowling Party on Friday,
January 21 from 6:00 – 8:00PM at Oakland Park Lanes on Route 1 in Rockport.
The event and shoe rental are free to UMA students and their guests but the
limit is 45 so please sign up in the URock front office. Bring money for
snacks, air hockey, video games, etc. because that is extra.

*Mental Health Counseling Available Spring Term*

Richard Chalmers, a graduate student in mental health counseling at USM will
begin a one semester internship which includes offering individual
counseling to members of the URock community. This service is free of
charge. If you need support with adjusting to school, depression, anxiety,
problems in relationships or would just like someone to talk to,
please *contact
either Bev or Deb for a referral*.

*Snow Cancellations!*

It’s the time of year when we need to worry about storms and school
closings. If we need to make any cancellations, there are many ways for you
to get the news. The URock web site <http://www.learn.maine.edu/rockland>will
always have the most up to date information. You can also call the office
answering machine at 596-6906, check Village Soup online or TV channels 6, 8
and 13. We try to make decisions two hours before class start times. If the
cancellation is during the day, please try to get your information online or
through TV channels rather than call the URock office. Our phone lines get
jammed up fast and cancellations are a frantic time in the office.

*Maine NEW Leadership Summer Conference*

Maine NEW Leadership is a six-day, residential training program, offered at
no charge each June to undergraduate college women. Established in response
to the reality that women are significantly under-represented in
legislatures, both nationally and in Maine, NEW Leadership encourages and
teaches women how to become effective leaders. Research suggests that women
are less likely than men to consider themselves qualified to run for office
or to be encouraged to run for office. Maine NEW Leadership provides role
models and mentors who are having a positive impact on womenâ€™s political
interest.

This year’s conference will be held June 2 – 7 at the University of Maine at
Orono. For more information and application materials, see Bev or Deb at
URock.

*URock Will be Closed for Martin Luther King Day*

There will be no classes and no office hours at URock on Monday, January
17th.
