ANNOUNCEMENTS

Reserve Media Equipment
We are halfway through the two-week prioritization window for reserving classroom media equipment. Prioritization ends Friday, March 30. Please consult your room assignments and then verify what equipment each room contains by going to the following Web page at http://www.spu.edu/help/mediaservices/classroom.html.

If you have high-tech needs not met by your assigned room, first contact Melinda Grow at (206) 281-2635 to see if a room relocation is possible. After that, send your reservation request to CIS using the online form at http://www.spu.edu/help/mediaservices/mediarequest.html, or call the Helpdesk at (206) 281-2982.

For further information on our media program and policies consult our Web page at http://www.spu.edu/help/mediaservices/newpolicies.html

Faculty With Evening Students
The Office of University Services will be open until 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, and Wednesday, April 4, so evening students can get their SPU ID cards. These cards are used to access meal plans, check out materials from the library, and receive admission to and/or discounts on theatre or sporting events. Students not able to make it during that week are encouraged to go to University Services during regular office hours, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Waitlist Ends Thursday, March 29
The SPU waitlist policy is in effect until 11:59 p.m., Thursday, March 29. The waitlist operates on a first-on, first-off approach. If space opens up in a waitlisted class, Student Academic Services will contact students who have been registered from the waitlist.

Increasing Class Enrollment Ends Thursday, March 29
If you would like to accommodate the students on your waitlist, and the room capacity of the classroom would not be exceeded, please e-mail Kristin Brann at kbrann@spu.edu, or call (206) 281-2635 in Student Academic Services by 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 29, to have your class enrollment increased. In order to stop the waitlist on Thursday, the timeline for increasing enrollment needs to match the waitlist deadline.

Last Day to Add Classes Is April 3
Students are able to register, add and drop courses until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3. After this time, Web registration is no longer available for Spring Quarter. This is the last day to register for classes including classes that meet once a week.

Deadlines for Pass/No Credit, Internships and Independent Study
Students wishing to take a course pass/no credit or register for an internship, independent study or individual instruction in music may do so in Student Academic Services, located Demarary Hall 151, through Tuesday, April 10.

President's Awards for Excellence
The President's Awards for Excellence annually recognize one faculty member and one staff member whose contributions to SPU honor the University's mission and exemplify the values and vision of the Comprehensive Plan for the 21st Century. The President will select and then, on Tuesday, May 8, 2001, announce the recipients at the President's Chapel for Faculty and Staff Recognition. Each recipient will receive a $1,000 check as a tangible expression of recognition and gratitude for their significant achievements and service to SPU. To nominate individuals, go to the Web site at http://www.spu.edu/special/presaward/index.html. The deadline is Friday, April 13.

Limited Seats Available for Community Breakfast
Faculty and staff are invited on a first-come basis to the SPU Seattle Community Breakfast on Wednesday, April 4, from 7-8:45 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Seattle Sheraton Hotel. Dr. William J. Bennett, former secretary of education and "drug czar," will give the keynote address. Dr. Bennett is one of our nation's most respected writers, commentators and orators. He has held several high-level federal positions, including secretary of education, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. He is perhaps best known as the author of The Book of Virtues, which established him as a champion of bedrock values and morals. The book enjoyed a phenomenal 88 weeks on The New York Times best-seller lists. The breakfast will be attended by more than 800 business and political leaders from the Seattle area and is designed to better acquaint the business community with SPU. Now in its fifth year, the annual event is co-sponsored by University Advancement and the School of Business and Economics. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP to ramyers@spu.edu.

Spring Forward on Sunday
Just a reminder that Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 1. Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour.

FACULTY/STAFF NEWS

Wall Publishes 2 Peter Study
Rob Wall, professor of Christian scriptures, will have his study titled “The Canonical Function of 2 Peter” published in Biblical Interpretation, 9/1 (2001), 64-81. This study illustrates how the theological perspective of 2 Peter complements 1 Peter in forming Scripture’s distinctive Petrine witness to God. Rob also delivered lectures at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego on a “Theological Reading of Scripture” during the “Rattle in Seattle,” but thinks the two events were totally unrelated.

Ellis, Fout's Article Published
Arthur Ellis, professor of education, and Jeffrey Fouts, executive director of SPU's Washington School Research Center, recently had their article, titled "Interdisciplinary Curriculum: The Research Base," published in the March 2001 issue of The Music Educators Journal.

Christel in Fuller Newsletter
Nancy Christel, assistant director of the Seattle Pacific Foundation, had her article titled "Best of Both Worlds" published in the Fuller Northwest Spring newsletter. Nancy is pictured with the president of Fuller and his wife. Her article addresses the experience of attending Fuller extension classes and participating in the Pasadena graduation ceremonies. (Nancy received her master of arts in theology from Fuller in Spring 2000.)
