Katie Smith, a clarinet student of Dr. Tamara Raatz, has been selected as a finalist for the Santa Fe PROMUSICA Concerto Competition in Santa Fe on April 2.

Not Too Late to Sign Up for Wellness – If you have not already enrolled in Lifelong Wellness for spring semester, now is your chance. How do you know if you are already enrolled? Over the weekend, the Wellness staff sent the current calendar for tracking your activity to everyone on their list. If you did not receive the e-mail, let them know. (If you told Mary Drabbs you wanted to be enrolled but did not receive an e-mail, please forgive her faulty memory and let her know again.) To enroll, switch the reply to mary.drabbs@enmu.edu, tell us whether you want 1 credit (27 activity sessions) or 2 credits (54 sessions), and they will put you on the list. Your efforts are appreciated for at least two reasons: not only because physical activity helps you become and remain healthier but also because the credits help the university enrollment. Two years from now these credits will help this program by providing some additional funding. There is a small budget for this year, and they will purchase some small items to help with programming efforts. One purchase will be some pedometers. If you would like to be part of a small group that wears a pedometer as you go about your activities to see how many steps you take in a day, let them know; counting steps is one way to record your activity. If there are other small items you would like to see them purchase for use with this program, please let them know. We are considering items like exercise balls, elastic bands for strengthening exercises, and maybe some walking poles to increase the energy cost of walking. Let them know your ideas. – Mary Drabbs

Dr. Judy Armstrong, Provost, thanked the staff and faculty for their spirit, entrepreneurship, and creativity, and she urged employees to dream even bigger in this new year. Armstrong said it is privilege and honor to be the Provost of such a wonderful campus.

A number of new faculty and staff were introduced during the in-service meeting, including the new Executive Director of Institutional Research and Planning, Dr. John Jones, and the new Director of Aviation Maintenance Technology, Ralph Barger. Service awards were also presented to the following employees, recognizing their years of dedication to ENMU-Roswell:

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)/Turning Point/Roswell Dental Project is one of a select group of organizations that was profiled by the Kellogg Foundation as part of its 75th Anniversary. Foundation officials chose the Roswell Dental Project, along with 80-plus other grantees, because the work exemplifies the values and mission of the Kellogg Foundation. Those accomplishments, along with those of other grantees, are highlighted during this landmark year.

The Kellogg Foundation is now presenting some of the products, such as videos, a website, and a coffee table book, which were created to showcase the work of grantees. Images and stories gathered during the staff’s visit to Roswell in April of 2003 are featured in these materials. A number of interviews with local dentists, businessmen, and city, and county leaders, are also featured. To see an online version of the overall package, visit the Kellogg Foundation website at www.wkkf.org/75th. The Roswell site can be accessed by clicking on the desired language below the main picture, then clicking on featured projects and going to page 5.
