Campus News of Interest to Adult Students, Updated Every Wednesday.
August 27, 2008
Adult Students in Action: Steve
Adult Student Steve Bridges wants to be a Dentist. While he is presently a biology major, he took a fine arts class in sculpting to help prepare him for a future of making dental molds. Steve had an idea for a sculpture as part of his class project, but the initial idea became too cumbersome to implement.
Fortunately, inspiration came from a dream about the original idea and Steve was able to produce a fantastic sculpture. "Untitled," though referred to by Steve's friends as "Han Solo," was on display in the Weatherspoon in April and May this summer.

Important: e-Spartan, Spartan Mail and iSpartan Information! (UPDATED)
UNCG ITS is pleased to announce the go-live date of Monday, August 18th, 2008 for the new iSpartan services. iSpartan is UNCG's offering of Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and will be the new email system for all students.
While similar, this program is different from the previous opt-in UNCG Student E-Mail Pilot Program. Students will be responsible for migrating their own old e-mails, contacts, and calendars from their old accounts to this new account.
For instructions on how to migrate your mail, contacts and calendars from e-Spartan and Spartan Mail (the opt in Google Apps Pilot) click here.
Also, for a list of Frequently Asked Questions on the new e-mail program, click here.

Information About FriendShape
FriendShape promotes healthy nutrition and regular physical activity towards college students by maintaining group accountability through a social network. This group is specifically designed for UNCG students who are not currently physically active, or students who are moderately physically active and want to become more physically active. Success is not solely based on weight loss or weight maintenance. Success is based on meeting new people, increasing minutes of physical activity and achieving personally set goals. friendShape will act as your accountability team to help you become more nutritionally aware of the foods you consume and increase the amount of physical activity you participate in each week. Most importantly, FriendShape will not and cannot act as a personal training group. Group leaders will do their very best to inform group members of all the resources already available to students at UNCG such as personal training at the Rec Center, or the campus nutritionist. For more information on this progam, please e-mail Jeff Milroy at jjmilroy@uncg.edu.
