| As many of you know it is hurricane season in the Coastal Bend. Fortunately there are no storms in the Gulf aiming for Texas at the moment. Nonetheless, as a university community we should continue to prepare ourselves should a hurricane or tropical storm reach us sometime this season. The Crisis Management Team would like every member of the Javelina family to review the hurricane procedures for the university. These may be viewed online here. Each season these procedures are posted on the front page of the website for the duration of the season. Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Oscar Castillo at x2645. Thank you. The Jernigan Library has scheduled workshops for the fall semester. All workshops are held in room 123 in the library. Call the reference desk at 361-593-3319 to reserve a space or for more information. All students, faculty and staff are invited to attend on a first come, first serve basis. Three classes will be held Tuesday, Sept. 28. Introduction to Internet Searching will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. Students will learn basic internet searching strategies using search engines and subject directories. From 3:30 to 5 p.m. Resources in Education will be taught. Those attending will learn to find and use educational resources including electronic databases and internet resources. The third course for Sept. 28 is Customizing your PowerPoint from 6 to 7:30 p.m. This is a course for students who have previous
experience with PowerPoint
and
want to learn to customize their presentations. If you have something you would like to submit to the Hog eWeekly, please send it to webmaster@tamuk.edu |
