Transcript of SMaRT Scholar Announcements: February 2015

SMaRT Scholar meetings will be the LAST Thursday of every month this semester, at 11:10AM:

Thursday, Feb 26th Thursday, March 26th Thursday, April 30th

The room locations will be College Center 117 for Main Campus & Keystone 130A for Monroe Campus.

Bring your lunch along!

Remember, these meetings are mandatory. If you do not attend without prior approval, you will jeopardize receiving continued funding through the SMaRT Scholars grant. If you have a conflict with a scheduled class, please contact Dennis Ebersole, ([email protected]) prior to the meeting. Text Message alerts – similar to the NCC alerts, we will be testing out text message alerts for the SMaRT Scholars to remind you of meetings and other important deadlines like course registration. Please email Christina ([email protected]) as soon as possible and provide her with your cell phone number and service provider.

Summer 2015 Course Registration began 11/10/14.

This is an option for you to stay on track or get ahead but remember that the SMaRT Scholarship does not fund these courses.

Also note that these courses are a shorter duration than in a Fall/Spring semester so more material is covered in less weeks and you will meet more frequently during the week. o For that reason, it’s a good idea to discuss your

plans with your advisor or Christina ([email protected]) regarding the amount of courses you’d want to attempt in the summer session(s).
