ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fac/Staff Bulletin Schedule
Beginning June 18, the Fac/Staff Bulletin will be published every other week during the summer. The next edition will be published July 2. Deadlines are the Thursday before publication. If you have any questions, contact Tracy Cooper at tcooper@spu.edu.

Are Your Events in the SPU Master Calendar?
If your department or office is planning an event, make sure to post the finalized information on the SPU Master Calendar. Anyone with a Banner account may post an item. All items are reviewed before they are added to the calendar. You can also update and edit an event after it's been posted. To start the process, select "Events and Calendar" from the quick-access bar at the top of the SPU home page and then select "Submit an Item." After entering the Banner Information System, enter your user ID number (usually your Social Security number) and then your pin. (There are instructions for new users and users who've forgotten their pin.) Once you're at the Main Menu page of Banner, select Campus Master Calendar and follow the onscreen directions. Everyone is encouraged to list on- or off-campus, SPU-related events on the Master Calendar.

Spring Quarter Grades Due TODAY, June 18
Spring Quarter grades are due in Student Academic Services (SAS) by 4:30 p.m., Monday, June 18. Grades may be submitted to SAS via the Web; in person; placed in the SAS drop box (located outside of Demaray Hall 120); mailed; or faxed to (206) 281-2669 (with the original mailed or submitted as soon as possible). If you have any questions concerning grading or meeting the University deadline, please contact Kelli Knapp at (206) 281-2636. Timely submission of grades helps students and offices with important processes such as the academic dismissal process, graduating seniors, disbursing financial aid and processing enrollment verifications.

Professional Studies Information Night on June 19
Do you know someone who has a technical or professional degree and who wants to get a traditional, college degree? This fall, SPU will offer a professional studies program targeted for adults with technical or professional degrees who are interested in getting a baccalaureate degree. Students can complete a bachelor's degree by taking general education courses in liberal arts and an approved minor. An information night on this new program will be held Tuesday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the Library. For more information and a complete list of schools whose credits transfer directly to the SPU professional studies program, call (206) 281-2021, or visit the Web site at http://www.spu.edu/depts/profstudies/.

You Can Finish Your Degree
Do you know a working adult with an unfinished undergraduate degree? If so, tell them about SPU’s Degree Completion Program (DCP). An information meeting will be held, Wednesday, June 20, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Library Seminar Room. Professors as well as financial and academic counselors will be on hand to answer questions. For more information, call DCP Admissions Counselor Dave McReynolds at (206) 281-3506, or visit the Web site at http://www.spu.edu/dcp

Summer Institute for Artists, Writers
Image: A Journal of Art and Religion is sponsoring the Glen Workshop -- a summer institute for artists and writers. It will be held August 5–12 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Glen participants spend mornings in small classes led by nationally known authors and artists. Afternoons and evenings feature readings, lectures, concerts and worship. This year's workshops include poetry, fiction, spiritual writing, landscape painting, figure drawing, collage and a seminar, “The Return of Beauty.” Now published at SPU, Image is a nationally read quarterly focusing on art and writing that grapple with Judeo-Christian faith. For more information, visit the Web page at http://www.imagejournal.org/glen.html.
