Ryan's Rant

I hope everyone is having a great spring and enjoying this time of change.  It is nice to get home from work or school and have time in the evening to do things outside.  There is a problem with springtime, however--spring fever! You know what I am talking about.  You start putting homework off to hang out, start making plans for the summer (before and after the UBMS program of course), and you start counting the number of school days left.

All of these are natural things to start wanting to do in the springtime.  Now it is more important than ever to continue to work hard and make sure you get your homework turned in and study hard.

We are still working on plans for the summer and are trying to make it even better than last year.  We will be announcing the classes for summer next month.  Until then, continue to study hard and have a good spring.

Bubba's Banter

Hey folks,

Just a quick note this time around. While preparing to respond to some homework in my counseling class this semester I came across this poem:

                             The clock of life is wound but once,

                             And no man has the power

                                                                         To tell just when the hands will stop,

                                                                         on what day or what hour.

                                                                         Now is the only time you have,

                                                                         So live it with a will.

                                                                         Don't wait until tomorrow,

                                                                         The hands may then be still.

                                                                                                  -Author unknown

Some of you reading this are preparing for graduation, to others graduation is still along ways off, and maybe you are thinking about the upcoming summer. Sometimes we can be knocked around as we try to reach goals. Perhaps you have set a goal that you think you may not be able to attain. I encourage each of you to continue plowing ahead. Let each step you take be with meaning and purposefulness. Keep your heads up and try to realize that today's troubles will be tomorrow's memory. Each of you have been blessed with a special talent, and whatever that talent may be, use it to the best of your ability.

I can't wait to get out to the schools and meet with each of you again.

Until then take care,

Bubba

Ashley’s Advice

Hey Everyone! This summer is getting closer by the minute and I can't wait! I hope everyone is doing well and I would love to get updates on everyone. Spring Quarter has started here at SSU and so far I think the quarter is going to be a good one (cross my fingers!!). I hope everyone is ready for the summer and if any of you have questions about anything don't be afraid to e-mail me! Good luck with the rest of the school year!

Steve's Schpill

Welcome students to the first edition of Steve’s Schpill. For those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name is Steve Cunningham and I am the Program Assistant/Head Resident Advisor here at UBMS. I have just started working in the office here and helping Bubba plan for the summer and truthfully, I couldn’t ask for a better coworker (yes, I’m sucking up). As Tim had mentioned earlier in an e-mail, I have some pretty big shoes to fill. We all know of the hard work and dedication that Ms. Kendra Frazier put forth and she will be greatly missed this upcoming summer. However, I promise you all that I will do the same in helping each of you in any way that I can in an attempt to give you the ultimate UBMS experience.

The summer plans are getting closer and closer to being finished, the RA’s have been interviewed and selected, and the excitement for the 80’s builds more and more after each day. New studentswelcome to the program. If there is anything that I can do to help any of you, veterans or rookies, don’t hesitate to e-mail or call me. My advice for this month is to just simply not slack off. I know how hard it is to stay busy with the schoolwork when the weather is beginning to warm up, but remember that the last grading period is just as important as the first. Keep in touch with us, don’t be afraid to ask us anything, and keep up with that homework.

Lastly, I want to welcome Roy McCall into the world. Congratulations Ryan and Rachel!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!

UBMS University Spotlight of the Month:

University of Cincinnati

http://www.uc.edu

McMicken Hall

Home of UBMS Alumni Zachery Brown!!

UBMS will be visiting the campus of UC this summer!!!!

The University of Cincinnati traces its origins to 1819, the year in which Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio were chartered. In 1870, the City of Cincinnati established the University of Cincinnati, which later absorbed the earlier institutions. In 1906, the University of Cincinnati created the first cooperative education program in the United States through its College of Engineering. For many years, the University of Cincinnati was the second oldest and second largest municipal university in the country. In 1968, UC became a "municipally sponsored, state affiliated" institution, entering a transitional period culminating on July 1, 1977 when UC became one of Ohio's state universities. The University of Cincinnati is classified as a Research Extensive University by the Carnegie Commission, and is ranked as one of America’s Top 25 public research universities.

Tuition and Fees for Spring Quarter 2005-06:

Ohio Resident, undergraduate, per year: $ 8,901
Out of State, undergraduate, per year:  $22,653
Ohio Resident, graduate, per year: $10,787

UBMS Photo Page

 Heather Holland came up with the idea of sharing summer photos with one another through the internet.  She has setup a webpage through photobucket.com in which UBMS participants can share their photos and order a CD of photos if they desire.  The following are directions and a link so that you can view and upload your own photos.

  • save your pictures to a folder on your computer

  • go to www.photobucket.com

  • put in these two items:
    sign in name: UBMSsummer2005
    password: bubba

  • click on browse and find the folder your pictures are in

  • double click on the picture (it will bring you back to the main page) then click submit

  • it’ll take some time depending on how fast or slow your computer is, but your picture will load up there.

  • keep adding pictures from the summer, the final trip, anything to do with UBMS
