A Snow Day in April

Today I'm writing again from my living room in Lake Nebagamon. Many of you are also at home due to the blizzard that's forging its way across the Midwest. It's certainly handy to have online access on days like this - I have some homework of my own to do. If you're in the same situation, I hope you find today a chance to get some quiet time to catch up on your classes.

Direct Access to Learn@UW-Superior

Due to a power outage in Superior, the UW-Superior webserver has been off line this morning. Since Learn@UW-Superior operates on a server in Madison, you still have access if you use the direct address: http://uwsuper.courses.wisconsin.edu/. If you ever have access problems, try that address first.

More Student Regent News

Not one, not two, not three, but four UW-Superior students have been applicants for the non-traditional student regent position. December Dickerson recently notified me that she also is a candidate for this role. Best of luck to all applicants. We should hear soon who has been selected.

Check Your Summer Course Schedule

It's important to remember that Summer College courses don't all start on May 19th. Many courses start in June, and others in July. The start and end dates for each course are listed in the schedule. Make a note!

There's now a UW-Superior Distance Learning Students group at www.facebook.com. If you are a Facebook user, we hope you'll join in. If you aren't, you may be interested in signing up, now or in the future.
