Construction activity attracts interest
Anyone who visits the campus cannot help but notice the significant amount of construction underway.  The steel outline of the Biosciences/Biotechnology Building on the south edge of campus is almost complete. To help answer the most frequent questions, we have uploaded new information to the online Construction Update to provide capsule information about major projects.  We also added a link in the column at left.

Summer Children's Theatre 
The ASU Theatre has announced the schedule for Summer Children's Theatre.  This is a great opportunity for those seeking summer entertainment for their youngsters.

New services for BlueAdvantage subscribers
In case you missed the e-mail last week, you might want to know about "My Blueprint," which is offered to all employees with health coverage administered by BlueAdvantage (formerly USAble). My Blueprint is an online, self-service center that allows subscribers to access information about the status of claims, claims history, primary care physician history, benefits and services available, provider directories, replacement ID card requests, and new services to be added. To access this service, register at www.BlueAdvantageArkansas.com and receive your password by U.S. mail in five to seven business days.  Call your HR Rep at 972-3454 if you would like to know more.

Ideas and material are welcome
We haven't asked in some time, but we want to remind the campus community that Inside ASU is for all faculty and staff.  If you have ideas or materials to submit, send them along to Tom Moore, tmoore@astate.edu.
