Service Saturday Coming Nov. 1

This year, the Office for Adult Students will be holding Service Saturday on November 1 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm in conjunction with Partnership Village.

Partnership Village is a housing community affiliated with Greensboro Urban Ministry that assists formerly homeless individuals. The goal of Partnership Village is to help individuals become self sufficient and eventually to own their own homes. The Office for Adult Students plans to go as a group to help with maintenance of the community. Some activities will include clean up of litter, sweeping stairs and hallways, organization of the community room and windows cleaned.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Joe Gullo or call the Office for Adult Students at 256-0300.

Registration is Coming!

Registration for Spring semester 2009 is quickly approaching! In order to assist those adult students who have not been through registration before, we have made a presentation available with some tips, pointers, and important dates here. This presentation was originally made by Nancy Bucknall (from CASA) and has been adapted for adult students. For the Registrar's website on how to register for classes, please go here.

Laptop computers are available to borrow for use anywhere within the Jackson Library or the Music Library. Other laptops may be "rented" out for one week.
