Announcements

These Announcements were submitted to the Monday Memo by University Community Members (employees, students and retirees). Announcement submissions must be received by Thursday at noon for publication on the following Monday. To submit your Monday Memo item, use the Submit Announcement and choose "General Announcement" or "Notice" as the Announcement Type. You may also submit announcements by email to monday.memo@enmu.edu. Announcements can only be accepted from off–campus groups that are non–profit and the announcements should have some relevance to ENMU (such as seeking ENMU volunteers).

Students interested in attending can show up on 9/4 ... remember to bring your fall class schedule with you! For more information call 2211.

New Vending Machine Swipe Dollar Bill Slot? – If the new vending machine in your building has swiped the dollar bill slot, you can fight back by putting cash on your ENMU Silver Pass ID card at the cashier's window in the Administration Building or at the Silver Pass office in Room 110 of the University Computer Center and swipe it through the vending machine instead. The photos on some of our IDs should frighten the machines into submission.

Senior Meal Program Needs Volunteers – The Community Services Center Senior Meal Site of Portales is in need of volunteers to distribute homebound meals. The home-delivered meals route is generally divided among three volunteers.Volunteers would assist in packaging and delivering meals. This would require two hours per day (10-noon) Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and bad-weather days. These meals are distributed to the elderly, disabled, and homebound that in some cases eat only one meal a day. At this time, there are approximately 75-90 individuals that the meal site delivers to on a daily basis. Mileage is reimbursed at .25 per mile. The Community Services Center meal site is currently looking for on-campus organizations, that might be willing to volunteer their effort. For more information, or to volunteer effort, please contact Paul Klein, meal site director, at 356.8576, or Vonnie Banther at 356.8576 ext. 23. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated!

Calling All Shutterbugs – The publications office is currently redesigning ENMU's admissions and recruiting publications. We need your help. In order to keep these publications current, we are searching campus-wide for photos to diversify our current supply. If you have any favorite photos of Eastern events, activities or people – or any other photo that you feel might contribute to these projects – please let us know. We invite you to drop by the Office of Communication Services in Ad. 108 and show us your favorite shutterbug efforts, or call us at ext. 2154.

Webpage Directory Access – With the inauguration of the new website, units will now have control over the content, maintenance, and development of certain levels of their website. ENMU faculty or staff may request directory access for the unit that they are charged with updating. Send emailed requests to webmaster@enmu.edu with the words "Directory Access Request" in the subject line. When these requests are received, the Webmaster will contact the area executive administrator, who must approve all requests for directory access. Once approval is given, directory access will be set up and the staff member will receive an email confirmation, with a directory password. At that point, pages in that directory can be changed or added, so long as the changes comply with the web policies. Informational workshops will be offered about how to use webpage templates and comply with web policies. If there are any questions about this process, please contact webmaster@enmu.edu or call the Office of Communication Services at 562.2154.

General Comments or Questions

Q. Is the Memo being distributed in hard copy for those of our employees who don't have access to computers – e.g. physical plant, custodial services, etc?

A. A text-only version can be downloaded and printed from the top of the front page of each Monday Memo. Also, hard copies of the announcements are distributed to retirees who request it.

(I am a student, but) ..."Hopefully, one of these days I will be a part of the staff and
professors. I always mention my pride in being here at Eastern. Where would I
tell the public what an awesome job the computer lab technicians at Eastern
do? They are constantly being called upon and very seldom do they not have the
knowledge to solve the question."
