Message of the Week
December 06, 2006
THE SCHOOL OF NURSING FACULTY AND STAFF SEND BEST WISHES TO OUR students for a very successful Finals Week and a safe journey home for the holidays. We will enjoy driving on unclogged streets and actually finding parking spaces, but rest assured, we will miss you and welcome you back with smiles in January. Let’s go, Mountaineers – after 5 trips, it’s time to bring a Gator Bowl trophy to Morgantown!
DECEMBER GRADUATES AND FACULTY
If you have not already done so, please let the Office of Student Services know as soon as possible whether or not you plan to attend graduation. The School of Nursing ceremony begins at 10 am in the HSC Main Auditorium. Students and faculty should assemble in the lobby in academic regalia at 9:30. A brunch will be held in the HSC cafeteria following the ceremony.
FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Information on the 2007-2008 scholarship process and an application form will be mailed to all freshman, sophomore, and junior nursing students' permanent addresses during the Winter Break. You must submit the completed application to the Office of Student Services and file your FAFSA by February 9, 2007, to be considered for a School of Nursing scholarship for academic year 2007-2008. Last year, several students did not meet the deadline for filing the FAFSA and could not be considered for scholarships, so make sure that you file the FAFSA early. Funds are limited and are awarded on the basis of combined academic achievement and financial need.
STUDENT APPRECIATION DAY!
Student Appreciation Day will be held on Monday, January 8, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is for all School of Nursing students. Please stop by the table beside the elevators on 6th floor HSS to pick up your gift. You are appreciated by the School of Nursing!

NOT THAT NURSING STUDENTS WOULD EVER PARK ILLEGALLY !
In the spirit of giving this holiday season, the Parking Office is “giving” those with unpaid citations a break. During the week of Dec. 4-8, anyone with an unpaid citation can have one $10 parking ticket or two $5 parking tickets (except violations for handicap parking) excused in exchange for three canned goods weighing 10 ounces or more or three bags of dry goods. Items should be delivered to the Parking Office located in the Prete Building, 3040 University Avenue. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

A big THANK YOU from RDVIC
 They were so pleased with the response they received from the School of Nursing during that wonderful Pay It Forward event that they would like to work with us even more. They have invited the faculty, staff and students to volunteer some hours at the Morgantown Mall, manning their gift wrapping fund raising booth in 2 hour increments – this could be lots of fun and certainly worthwhile. Please call Jeanette or Brenda, 292-5100 to sign up and see what hours are available.
KEEP BRINGING YOUR USED PC CARTRIDGES TO HEALTH RESTORATION
We continue to raise funds for the Humane Society - $4 for every used cartridge – save the dogs and cats and the landfill as well! We just turned in 115 cartridges! That’s $460! We have donated over $1000 so far with this project – thanks to you bringing your cartridges in. The animals need you! This is a year round project!
OUR MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM RETURNS TO THE COLISEUM FOR A HOME GAME ON DECEMBER 16 AGAINST SAVANNAH STATE.
