Students plan Martin Luther King Jr. Week
events
The Student Activities Board, working in conjunction with other student
groups, has planned several activities in recognition of Martin Luther
King Jr. Week on the ASU campus. Attractive posters listing the
events have been placed around campus. Classes will not be in
session Monday, Jan. 20; students are encouraged to give a day of
service to Abilities Unlimited in honor of Dr. King.
The 'inside' story on that dirt
you've heard about
If you thought you had missed
the announcement of another new building going up at ASU, relax.
Several individuals have asked what is being built just east of Caraway
Road, between the railroad tracks. The answer? Temporary parking
for Baldwin & Shell's construction workers. Excavated dirt
from the Biosciences/Biotechnology Building construction site will
provide the foundation for the lot, and nothing else.
Reminder: Dr. Mildred Vance to be honored
Everyone is invited to attend a reception in honor of Dr. Mildred
Vance, who is retiring after 54 years of service to ASU. The
event will be Monday, Jan. 20, 3-6 p.m., in the Grand Hall of Fowler
Center. Those who would like to contribute letters or other
mementoes for a memory book should send items to Dawn Tucker,
University Advancement, Admin Room 104.
Several ABI research proposals
approved
ASU faculty members submitted 15 proposals to the Arkansas Biosciences
Institute in response to its request last November for research
projects which are consistent with ABI's mission. Several have
been approved for funding, according to Dr. Susan Davis Allen, vice
chancellor for research and academic affairs. We will publish the
details in the next issue of 'Inside ASU.'
QUEST seeks your feedback on
Finance & Administration
The Office for Finance and Administration's Quality and Efficiency
Support Team (QUEST) will hold support group meetings in
various locations on campus later during the month of January and
February to gather information on F & A's processes and procedures --
what they do right, what suggestions for improvement various departments
might have, etc. For details about these sessions, visit quest.astate.edu.
ASU Athletics: first to
launch football ticket campaign
ASU launched its 2003 football season ticket campaign Saturday, the
first school in the nation to do so, according to the Athletics
Department. The campaign, sponsored by First Community Bank, was
launched during halftime of the basketball game. A number of events are
planned for the campaign, including the Recruiting Roundup on Feb. 6 at
The Colonnade. Watch for details or visit http://www.asuindians.com/.
