Update Your Phone Contact Information!

Student Service Personnel at URock
Beverly Bayer has moved to a 1/2 time position as Student Services Coordinator through August 2012 and then she will fully retire. After 20 years, this signals big changes for Beverly and URock!
The University conducted a formal search for a full-time Student Service Coordinator through late fall. I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dagmar Moravec as a new full-time SSC. We are privileged to have both Beverly and Dagmar working closely together over the next 8 months to manage a smooth transition in the creative delivery of student services at URock.
You will now find Dagmar in Beverly’s former office; Bev has relocated to faculty office A outside of the Art Room.

If bad weather forces us to cancel classes, you will find the most up to date information on the URock web site as well as on TV channels 6, 8 and 13 plus Village Soup online. You can also call the URock office for an updated recorded message. Generally, classes are canceled two hours before start times.
