Semester Conversion is fast approaching!
On June 25th the entire Shawnee State University
campus will be embarking on a new beginning. That is the date we
begin our very first semester term. All across campus everyone has
been gearing up for the conversion from the quarter term to semester
term. Departmental and staff meetings have been held and we are
discovering there is always a little something we all forgot about
until we started actively working on the academic schedules with our
students.
Semester advising for students has been in
progress for the entire spring quarter and while some students have
started preparing some are waiting until the fall semester to come
in for their individual advising plan (IAP). The offices of
Financial Aid and Registrar have been particularly busy with student
questions and concerns.
Our enrollment figures are very close to where
they were last year at this time and everyone seems to feel that we
are well prepared for the change.
We are all looking forward to the new changes as a
step forward for Shawnee State University. I am sure that this
first semester will be a hectic one as we all learn to change our
own work schedules to coincide with the new academic year.

medical leave and Bill Dickerson who has broken his foot.
Southern Ohio Women's Cancer Project
A program developed to assist eligible women by providing
FREE
mammograms and Pap Tests to help promote early detection and
treatment of breast and cervical cancers. This program is
available to women in Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson,
Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton Counties.
Eligible women must meet the following criteria:
Must be at least 40 years
old
Income must be below 200%
of the federal poverty level
Must have no Medicare or
Medicaid
Must have no health
insurance
Eligible women between 40
and 50 years old qualify for
FREE
pap tests including pelvic exam and clinical breast exam.
Eligible women over 50
also qualify for a
FREE
mammogram.
For more information
contact: Mary Collins, project coordinator and case manager for
Scioto County at 1-800-944-2232.
Most SSU employees will
not qualify for this program, but we all know women without
insurance or who are underinsured. Pass the word. Cancer
is bad enough without the additional burden of unaffordable tests.
Question:
In many liquor stores, you can
buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is
whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in
any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
The first to email the USA
Newsletter committee at
USANews@shawnee.edu
will receive
a prize—a genuine, classy, pedestal, Jazzman Café coffee mug,
complete with a Jazzman Café $5 gift certificate. The winner
will receive the prize at our next USA open meeting on June 12!
Good Luck!
