PRESS RELEASE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
(L-R) Lainey Schafer, Sydney Foltz, and Delmie Cruz-Lopez.
April 14-18th is Student Employment Appreciation Week!
In the Dean's Office, we are so fortunate to have three outstanding student workers.
Their hard work, humor, and kindness brighten our days and make a big difference in all that we do.
We are so grateful for their dedication and all the positive energy they bring to the office!
Reminder:
Finals Week is just around the corner! If you haven’t reserved your rooms yet, now is the time to do so. Securing your space early helps avoid any last-minute conflicts and ensures you have the perfect spot to focus.
This round of Try-a-Bytes is all about creating smarter shortcuts and organizing information more efficiently.
Learn how to use Google Drive shortcuts to reduce redundancy and avoid making multiple copies of the same file or folder. These shortcuts are perfect for placing a single file in multiple locations, making it easier to access relevant materials wherever you need them.
Then, explore Notebook LM—a powerful AI tool that helps you organize your research or notes. It pulls only from the sources you provide, helping generate summaries, notes, and even audio to deepen understanding.
These bytes are here to help simplify your digital workspace and make your workflow work a whole lot smoother.
We are excited to offer faculty and staff the opportunity to update their professional headshots! Whether you need a new photo for your university profile, website, or any other professional purpose, we’ve made it easy for you to schedule a session.
How to Schedule Your Appointment:
Simply use the online appointment calendar to select a time that works best for you! An email follow-up will be sent after an appointment is made.
Using technology like AI or virtual reality in the classroom?
Is your class working on a super cool project?
Schedule a time for me to stop by and grab photos (or video) of your students using technology to enhance their learning.
You can also schedule a time for me to grab photos of group work, class projects, etc.
If you already have photos, feel free to submit them here using the photo folder link!

STUDENT ORGANIZATION UPDATES
The National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) co hosted the 2nd Annual "Box in Our Sox" event with 270 Rock Steady Boxing and Tri-Sigma for Parkinson's Awareness Month.
