Announcements
Professional Semester Applications: Applications for the fall 2004 Professional
Semester (student teaching) are due by March 1, 2004, and must be accompanied
by an up-to-date transcript and letter of recommendation from a field supervisor.
Application forms may be picked up in the education department office in
Atwood Hall. Seniors interested in student teaching in the fall as graduate
students in the Post-Baccalaureate Certification Program must also apply.
Only students seeking certification in math, science(s), English and social
studies should apply for the fall Professional Semester. For information:
Esther Oey, eoey@stlawu.edu or 5872.
Parking Plan Reminder: Phase I of the parking plan to assign every registered vehicle a “home” parking lot took effect February 2. Parking permits for Lot E (across from Payson Hall) were issued to employees who work in buildings closest to Lot E. Those with Lot E permits should seek a space there first, or Lot K or J-Annex as alternatives. Vehicles that are parked in Lot E without Lot E permits will be ticketed. By fall, the full plan will take effect. The Parking Committee is working throughout this semester to refine the plan and establish procedures for communication, registration and appeals. Questions may be directed to Mary Ellen Volzer, Aileen O’Donoghue or Lisa Cania, representing the committee.
