Haiti Benefit Dinner

Dear All,

As you know, there has been a terrible tragedy in Haiti. With the dead now numbering over 170,000 and still millions homeless, Haiti needs our help now more than ever. To help benefit the medical charity Partners in Health, several organizations at Indiana University will be coming together to raise funds at a Haiti Benefit dinner.

The dinner will take place on Wednesday February 17th, from 5:00–8:00pm at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. Food will be provided by several area restaurants and there will also be live entertainment.

Tickets will be only $10 and may be purchased at the Hutton Honors College, the Asian Culture Center, La Casa, the GLBT Student Support Services Office, The Wells Library, Wright Food Court, and the three Bloomingfoods locations.

You are cordially invited to this very special event; a wonderful opportunity to support not only local charitable efforts, but also our distressed island neighbor to the south. Even as you read this message, much of Haiti still lies in ruins; but together, with your help, the world can help rebuild Haiti.

Thank you and warmest regards!

The Haiti Benefit Coordinating Committee

Minority Law Day/ Discover Law Program

As part of the Law School Admission Council initiative, Discover Law, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law is sponsoring a program geared to high school students and freshmen and sophomores in college on Saturday, February 13, 2010. The purpose of this program is to provide information to minority students who are interested in studying law. This is part of the law school's continuing effort to increase the representation of minorities in the legal profession.

The program will provide workshops and an opportunity for students to ask questions of law professors, admissions officers and current law students. In past years we have had approximately 10-15 different law schools send representatives to this event to talk with prospective students.

The program is free and open to the public. For our own planning purposes, however, we ask students to preregister on our web site at www.law.indiana.edu/minoritylawday.

Please make this information available to interested students and encourage their attendance. If you have questions, please contact me or Pat Clark at the number below.

Web Design Competition

The Office for the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education invites Indiana University Bloomington students to submit entries for a competition to design a new website for students to access information about general education courses and requirements.

Background Information and Motivation
Indiana University Bloomington is at an exciting stage of transformation with respect to undergraduate education. Great energy abounds on campus, with each successive year’s incoming class reporting higher achievement than the previous. The faculty of IU Bloomington responded to a charge from the trustees to develop a new general education curriculum, effective for undergraduate students entering IUB in summer 2011. Students come to Bloomington with great aspirations and expectations for an outstanding educational experience, but have many choices in how to satisfy general education requirements. The goal of this competition is to identify the key student questions, information sources, and presentation formats for general education requirements – all from the students’ perspective.

Supporting material concerning the design of the general education common ground and
shared goals requirements and lists of courses by area are provided at the following Internet pages:

BFC Circular: https://www.indiana.edu/~iubgened/download/B25-2009.pdf

List of courses:
https://www.indiana.edu/~iubgened/download/Approved_courses_by_category_090819.rtf

Prizes
• First place ‐ $1,000
• Second place ‐ $500
• Third place ‐ $250

All finalists will be invited to apply for a paid internship with the team responsible for building the general education website.

Competition Timeline
• The deadline for submitting a competition entry is 12:00 AM, March 1, 2010.
• Winning entrants will be announced March 12, 2010.

Submission Guidelines and Directions
Students are encouraged to think creatively about both the content as well as the type of information submitted. Submissions must include site map outlining site structure and content, and at least one top page design in either graphic or html format.
• Students must submit a zipped folder containing their design, storyboard, and any other supporting material.
• A single pdf document in the folder titled submission.pdf should describe the contents of the folder, and the name and contact information for the student(s) making the submission.
• The submission must be emailed by the contest deadline to ovpueweb@indiana.edu.

Competition Rules
• The design competition is open to undergraduate students enrolled full‐time on the
Bloomington campus.
• Students can compete as individuals, or as a team. If a team is awarded one of the prizes, then the prize will be divided equally among the team members.
• A student can only submit one entry, as either an individual, or as a member of a team.
• Prizes will be awarded after the announcement of the winners.
• Finalists are invited to apply for the internship, but there is no guarantee that an offer of employment will be made.
• All designs must be implementable such that they are viewable in modern browsers and should adhere to the current legal requirements concerning copyright, first amendment, trade work, and civil rights.
• By submitting an entry into the competition, students are declaring that their work is original, with the normal exception of appropriate citing of others’ work. For example, if a component is used to provide interactivity (e.g. client‐side javascript), it is expected that students will disclose the source of the component.

Judging
A panel of judges, including students, professional staff from the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, and the Office of Creative Services, will review all submissions and determine the winning entries.

Pass/Fail Deadline for Full Semester Classes

Monday, February 8th is the last day to sign up to take a full-semester class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2008-2010/student.shtml#pass): “During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300
