I attended the Department of Theatre and Dance opening performance of Pride & Prejudice last night. A full house enriched a great show. Our theatre program is truly one of the jewels in our academic crown. The faculty and students have found that magical level of interaction indicative of quality programs. They
bring out the best in each other.
A young woman sitting next to me said she had driven up from the coast just to see the performance of "her favorite book." She was not disappointed.
Faculty and staff can now add their physical location to their directory info which is accessed via our website. I firmly believe that it will help students on our campuses if they have a physical location for our offices. It only takes 30 seconds to add this info to your directory listing.
Here's how:
Log into SOAR with your employee ID and password.
Click on "Self Service"
Look under "USM Self Service" and select "Update Online Directory". This screen allows you to choose how your name, contact information, and location details are displayed.
Once completed, select "Save" to record your information. It usually takes a few hours before your updated information appears in the directory.
Please take advantage of this capability to help our students. For assistance, contact the iTech Help Desk at 601.266.4357.
Students have complained to me that the stadium lights seem to be staying on all night. I checked with members of my cabinet and have been told that the problem has been corrected.
The Roberts Stadium is used Monday through Thursday nights for Intramural club sport practices. The lights will be out by no later than 11pm each night. There is now a back-up plan in place to insure that the lights are turned off.
We have several sports clubs (men's soccer, men's and women's rugby, ultimate Frisbee) that compete against other university clubs. The intramural fields stay packed with regular intramural sports. I hope we can soon provide additional intramural/recreational sports fields to meet the needs of our students.
