Good News About Enrollment – Based on the most recent 2nd 8-week enrollment numbers and additional enrollments expected in graduate courses, workshops and May courses we are very optimistic that we have achieved our goal for growth and will earn an increase in funding for fall 2010.  This is a huge achievement, and as you all know, it could not have come at a better time.  Furthermore, on a personal note, it has been immensely rewarding to see how faculty, staff, and administration all jumped in and made this happen.  Kudos to all!

Internal Grant Applications Due by April 10 – Please note the change in the application process for internal grants for spring 2009. The VPAA has requested the committee change the timeline for requests. In the past the spring applications have been for regular faculty only with another round of awards in the fall for new faculty.

With new faculty having been on campus for such a short time (Aug.-Jan.) it is unfair to request that they not only settle into their new teaching, advising, as well as other faculty responsibilities and be prepared to write and submit a request for grant funding in such a short time.

Therefore, effective spring 2009, tere will only be one call for applications. Applications will be accepted from all full-time tenure track faculty members with priority given to new and probationary faculty.

Internal Faculty Research and Instructional Development Grant Applications are now being accepted (open to all eligible tenure-track faculty: see the application packet for eligibility criteria and application format requirements).

Access the application from on the web at:

http://inside.enmu.edu/forms/grant-contract/internal-grant-application.pdf

Submit the original signed application and eight copies to Nikki Howard in the Academic Affairs office (Admin. 204).  The deadline for receiving applications is at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 10.

Proper Way to Submit Authorized Absences – To be official, authorized absences for students have to be submitted on the official form on the sidebar of the Monday Memo. The submission form automatically goes to Student Affairs. After their approval, it is forwarded to the Monday Memo for publication. 

Defensive Driving on April 9 – If you have taken the six-hour Defensive Driving Course, you must renew your six-hour certificate every four years.  The four-hour Defensive Driving Course will be offered at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday, April 9 in the Campus Union Building.
