ENMU-Roswell Receives GEAR UP Grant – The Adult Basic Education GEAR UP Program at ENMU-Roswell has been awarded a $95,000 grant for the 2004-05 school year. The grant will be used to continue tutoring programs at the Roswell Boys and Girls Club, Mountain View Middle School and Mesa Middle School. “We are very proud to be able to continue this program in Roswell, and recognize that ENMU has been a strong supporter of the middle school students in your area,” said Kate Smith, GEAR UP Coordinator in Santa Fe. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) tutors visit the schools throughout the school year, helping and mentoring students who are not performing well academically. GEAR UP tutors also promote higher education, encouraging students to graduate from high school and go to college. During the school year, students tour the ENMU-Roswell campus and staff members speak to students and their parents about the college enrollment and financial aid processes. GEAR UP tutors also promote the six pillars of Character Counts! in all their activities. Hilda Pacheco, Assistant Director, Adult Basic Education, said the GEAR UP program works. “Through our testing, we see students making big improvements and their attitude toward school changes too. I love working with the schools and keeping track of our students because we are so proud of them. The program is making a big difference,” she said. Pacheco said through the summer programs alone, 500 students were served through GEAR UP and more will be served this year.

Medical Leave Bank Policies Explained

What is the Medical Leave Bank?

The medical leave bank is a pool of hours to which any regular employee who earns medical and/or annual leave may donate some of their accumulated leave hours. The purpose of the medical leave bank is to provide medical leave to contributors who have suffered an unplanned personal illness, injury, disability or quarantine and who have exhausted their compensatory time and medical and annual leave balances.

Who is eligible to join?

Any regular ENMU employee who earns medical and annual leave and has a current medical leave balance of at least six days (hours are prorated for part-time employees) as of July 31, 2004, is eligible to participate in the Bank.

How much do I have to contribute?

Initial contribution is three days if you work full-time; hours are prorated if you work part-time. With prior written notice, the medical leave bank committee may request additional hours from the membership if the hours in the bank fall below one day per member.

Who makes decisions on request for time from the bank?

The medical leave bank is administered by a five-member committee appointed by the President to review requests for withdrawal of medical leave from the bank.

How do I enroll?

The medical leave bank policy, enrollment and request forms are available from the office of Personnel Services, Administration Building, Room 207, or by calling the office at 562.2115. Return completed form to Personnel Services, Station 21, by Nov. 30. Members who have been in the Medical Leave Bank for 30 calendar days are eligible to apply for days from the Bank.

Note: If you are already in the Bank, additional contributions are not needed unless notified by the committee.

Paul Jones at the conclusion of the 2004-05 year, the university will begin a search for a vice president for Academic Affairs early in the fall semester.

Clarification About Taxes on Tuition Waivers – Several employees who have a bachelor's degree have expressed a desire to sign up for a Wellness course under the tuition waiver but are turned off by the misunderstanding they have to pay taxes on the tuition waiver. Please be advised that this is no longer true due to a new admission category established over a year ago – post-baccalaureate admission. Anyone with a bachelor's degree who wants to enroll only in undergraduate courses will be admitted under post-baccalaureate admission. You will not be taxed for any tuition waiver for an undergraduate class. Also, if you are paying for an undergraduate course, you will be charged at the undergraduate, not the graduate, rate.

But please note that no one in this category can take a graduate course. If you want to take a graduate course, you have to receive graduate admission. You will be charged graduate rates for all of your courses, including undergraduate courses, and any tuition waiver will be taxable.

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)

Computing
Last week we learned how to receive updates to our computer systems through the web browser accessing the Microsoft Updates web site. There is a much easier way to receive and apply the latest updates. It is done through the Windows “Automatic Updates” feature that will keep your computer up-to-date automatically with the latest updates and enhancements. You no longer have to search for critical updates and information; Windows delivers them directly to your computer. Windows recognizes when you are online and uses your Internet connection to search for downloads from the Windows Update Web site. An icon appears in the status area by the system clock each time new updates are available. You will also periodically see a message appear above the icon stating that there are updates that need to be applied. Double click on the icon and follow the installation screens. It is very important that you apply the updates when they arrive on your system. Doing so will protect your system from the many daily virus attacks that attempt to infect your system. If you have any questions concerning the Automatic Updates feature, call the Helpdesk at 562.4357. They can assist you with making sure this feature is configured and functioning properly.

To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. There are two things to look for; one is the “Virus Definitions” which should be at 4389 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.3.20. If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.
