One month from now students will arrive on campus to begin or resume their college career!  In order to prepare new students for University life, the Student Success Center has been working in conjunction with many offices on campus hosting New Student Orientations throughout the summer. The final dates of Orientation are scheduled for August 16, 2005 and August 30, 2005. If you need more information please call extension 3594. 

Some of the campus folks who have family coming this fall include the following:
Kim Gleim's daughter, Emily
Mark Grundler's daughter, Amalia
Debbie Watson's son, Matt
Butch Kotcamp's son, Jared
Morty Lockert's daughter, Rebecca
Gene Beckett's god-daughter, Whitney

Program specific orientations will be held for the Physical Therapy Assistant program and the Nursing program. PTA's is scheduled on September 7, 2005 from 9 a.m.--noon.  If you have questions please contact Sara Clausing, Department Secretary, at extension 3225. The Nursing Department is having an orientation September 9, 2005 from 8 a.m.--noon in Flohr Lecture hall.  For more information contact Sharon Messer at extension 3210.

The Natural Science Department would like to welcome two new faculty members to campus. Dan Chaffin, Instructor of Biology, and Kurt Shoemaker, PhD, will be teaching Geology classes this fall.  Also, there is to be a series of Einstein Lectures September 15th, 16th, and 17th in Flohr Lecture Hall beginning at 7:00pm.  No scientific knowledge necessary!

On a personal note congratulations go out to Cindy Haney as she's basking in the glow of  grandparent-hood because John Ethan Carter was born in March 20, 2005. John Ethan has an older brother Tristan who is nine! Enjoy Cindy!   As many of you know Judy Morrow is off recuperating from a leg fracture, we hope you get well soon Judy!  The USA would like to extend our sympathies to Betty Forbes on the recent death of her husband Bill.  Betty you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sherry Scott

Sherry Scott is the secretary for the Educational Opportunity Center in the OACHE office.  Although she’s only been in that position for about eight months, Sherry has been involved with every TRIO program on Shawnee’s campus.

Sherry has lived in Portsmouth, Ohio or the vicinity most of her life.  She and her husband John have 3 children.  Josh, who’s 15, Jeremy, 12, and Jonah, 5 all keep life pretty busy.  She is the current President of Portsmouth Little League, and is always on the lookout for new umpires, coaches, and Board members (hint, hint).

If you’re ever in the Administration Building, stop by and say "hi!!" She loves to meet new friends, or just chat for a minute with an old one.

Gift Certificates Available Year Round

Do you need gift certificates for birthdays or the holidays?  I have gift certificates for sale for most major retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, gas and travel.  This is a fund raiser for Notre Dame Schools and here’s how it works:

If you buy $25.00 worth of certificates, you get $25 worth of merchandise.  We make our money on the presale.  The only catch is they have to be preordered and prepaid.  During the school year, orders go in every Monday morning and are picked up every Friday morning.  Some of the retail stores include:  American Eagle; Barnes & Noble; Bath & Body Works; CVS Pharmacy; Gap; JC Penney; K-Mart; Land’s End; Lazarus; Old Navy; Perfect Scents and many more.

Comic Relief

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules. "The female dormitory will be off-limits for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."

He continued, "Anyone caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will result in a hefty fine of $180. Are there any questions?"

At this, a male student in the crowd inquires, "How much for a season pass?"
