Expressions Night – This Friday, March 25
Please come Friday night at 5:30PM to the much anticipated URock Expressions Night! Enjoy the amazing talents of URockers as they demonstrate all forms of personal expression. There will be a kids movie playing in one of the classrooms so bring the young ones, too.
Expressions Night is dedicated to the memory of student Joshua Bowen, who thrived in the performing arts. Donations are appreciated but not necessary for the American Heart Association and/or the Make a Wish Foundation.
Commencement 2011 – At URock and UMA
We have posted information about Commencement 2011 including the local URock celebration on May 7th as well as the protocol for caps and gowns, etc. at the big ceremony. Remember to apply to graduate online.
Explore Internships
Are you curious about how an internship experience might fit into your academic plan? Please come to a panel discussion on Friday, April 1st at noon at URock in room #403. Some URock students who are currently doing internships will talk about the enrollment process, the work experience and some do’s and don’ts. Internships are one of the best ways to build a resume so that when you graduate, you have a degree plus a strong work background. Check out the new link about internships on the URock web site! Registration for the panel event is appreciated but not necessary.
Summer and Fall Registration
Click here for registration dates across the UMaine System as well as current course listings for summer and fall. Summer and fall registration for UMA degree candidates opens April 4. Some UMS campuses have already opened summer registration. This is a good time to schedule an advising appointment so you are ready to go when registration opens.
URock the Vote!
Be an active part of the URock Community. Help plan activities and create a strong learning community! The Student Association will be holding elections in April. If you wish to take out nomination papers to run for the offices of President, VP, Treasurer or Secretary, pick up the forms at the office and return by April 4th. Gather 15 student signatures to be put on the ballot. Voting will take place the week of April 11 – 15.
URock Apparel
Now you can order URock apparel online with our logo and the clothes (T-shirts, sweats, etc.) will be hand delivered to you at URock. Get ready for Spirit Week, April 11 – April 15. If you wish to have your garb for Spirit Week, place your orders by April 4th.
Check Out Room #409, our “Learningful Space”
A new trend in higher education is called, “Collaborative Learning” and it depends heavily on creativity, cooperation and exploration. Room #409 is an ITV receive room but it has been converted to “learningful space” with comfy chairs, white boards and a computer that projects onto the large, flat screen. Its use may be scheduled online through Google calendar. Try it out. It’s ideal for study groups and group projects.
Recruiting URock Coordinator for Honors Program
There is an opening for leadership for the URock Honors Program beginning in the fall. If you are looking to get more involved in our student community and build your resume, think about stepping up! This position qualifies for special scholarship funds to help pay tuition. See Bev or Deb FMI.
