SGA Election Deadline FAST APPROACHING!

UNCG's Student Government Association (SGA) is very excited about the upcoming year, and we would like to take this opportunity to invite Adult Students to take part in SGA as a senator. Nominations will be held until September 5th at noon. All students are invited go to UNCGenie (look first under "Personal Information" and then select "UNCG Online Elections and Polls") to nominate others or even yourself. Feel free to nominate yourself for multiple positions that you qualify for. If you receive more than one nomination, you will need to pick one position to run for.

All nominated candidates will be notified promptly following the nomination process. There will be a mandatory meeting on Monday, September 8, 2008 for all nominated students. If you have any questions please contact Jesse Russo at jarusso@uncg.edu.

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.

UPDATE: We received some questions about importing information from programs like Outlook into iSpartan. Please consult the following guides for more information:

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.
