Campus News of Interest to Adult Students, Updated Every Wednesday.

April 29, 2009

Commuter Deli

The next installment of Campus Activities' Commuter Deli will be on Wednesday, April 29th in EUC's Cone Ballroom from 11:00am - 2:00pm. Bring your Student ID, and look for a table of Adult Students!

1st Tuesdays at 5

Please join the Office for Adult Students next Tuesday, May 5, at 5:00 PM in Charlie's Coffee House in the EUC. We will be hosting an informal conversation with new and returning adult students and will be providing each of our attending students with a coupon for free coffee!

Adult Student Honorary Inductees

Each year, departments and majors at UNCG select students to be inducted into honorary societies. The Office for Adult Students would like to extend special recognition for those Adult Students who have been inducted this year! Please click here for the complete list of Adult Student Inductees.

Words of Encouragement

As the semester begins to wind down, students often feel the stress of finishing up projects, papers and presentations and are gearing up for finals. As the Spring 2009 semester draws to a close, the Office for Adult Students wanted to take a moment to encourage adult students. Adult students were asked to submit their favorite inspirational or motivational quotes for the "Encouraging Words" display in Jackson Library during Fall of 2008.

We've compiled the quotes submitted by adult students into a web page to encourage other adult students to "hang in there." Please click here to view this page and read the quotes!

"What's For Dinner?" Contest

The Office for Adult Students accepted recipes for our "What's For Dinner?" contest through March. During the two weeks of the contest, OAS received 65 submissions from 45 students. We are pleased to announce the Grand Prize and First Place Winners below. Please visit the contest website for a complete listing of winners and to view all of the recipes. If you have not been to OAS to pick up your prize, please come to 210 EUC!

Information About Honorary Societies

In late Spring Semester, honorary societies around campus begin the process of offering invitations to students to join. There are a great number of reputable societies on campus for which it is a great honor to join; however, some honoraries are less reputable and even charge you a fee for membership at very small benefit. If you have received an invitation, we encourage you to research the organization first to make sure it is an affiliated UNCG society, especially before you spend any money. An excellent resource for finding campus affiliated honoraries is the Campus Activities and Programs Website, though the list is not necessarily comprehensive. The Office for Adult Students can also help clarify which organizations have a positive reputation based on previous experience.

Talk Walkers!

The "Talk Walkers" program has been modified. Now, come in any time during OAS hours when you are able to walk for 30 minutes. Come to the Office for Adult Students (210 EUC) to pick up a pedometer and drop off your stuff!

Triad Commute Challenge

UNCG is joining the Triad Commute Challenge by encouraging commuters who normally drive alone to consider more environmentally responsible ways to access campus. For more information and to register, please visit Triad Commute Challenge.
