Friday, Sept 12 8:30-10am GHH 103	Faculty Grants and Leaves: Understanding the Process Learn how to put together your application for a Sabbatical Leave (Due: Last Monday in September) and how to put together an application for a Faculty Development Grant (Due: October 15 or March 15).

Friday Oct. 24 12-1pm LIB 214	Degree Works: What it can do for you as an advisor and your students 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm LIB 214 Have you ever wished for the ability to conduct "what if" scenarios with your advisees who are considering different emphases? Have you ever wished you had the ability to include follow up notes in a student's file? Have you wished for a program that would automatically provide the student with a list of the courses he/she still needs to take to complete their degree? If you answered "yes" to any of these, please join John Allred, UAA Registrar, for an introduction to Degree Works, the new student advising software scheduled to be available to faculty and students in late spring 2009. Since this will be a hands-on session, please RSVP so we can monitor computer and room capacity. Click Here for more information and to register.
