Weekly Update April 21, 2014

Greetings everyone!

Hope you had a wonderful, relaxing holiday weekend!  This time of the semester can be very stressful and hectic for everyone...let's try to keep smiling and finish as strong as we possibly can...only a couple more weeks to the finish line! :-)

Here's some updates regarding what's going on in UHP: 
  • Elections:  Thanks to everyone who voted in our UHPSA officer elections.  The voting period has now ended and the votes have been tallied.  Results will be announced at the Spring Banquet next Sunday.  Thanks to all of the candidates for your eagerness to serve...we had an amazing slate of people running this year.  You are all winners in my book, and it would be a pleasure and honor to serve with any and all of you next year! 
  • Spring Banquet:  This Sunday, April 27 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. in the Cone Center Lucas Room.  The last day to RSVP for this event has already passed.  If you did RSVP, please make sure to come, as we've already ordered all the dinners.  Attire is "Sunday best."  It's sure to be a great night of fellowship, acknowledgements, and fun!
  • Community Service: 
    • Animal Shelter:  We'll be volunteering here this Friday, April 25 from 8:30 a.m. - 12 noon.  We've had four spots open up, so if you're interested in going and haven't signed-up already, please email me (ajenki47@uncc.edu) to let me know that you'd like to come.  These last four spots will be given on a first come, first serve basis.  The address is 8315 Byrum Drive here in Charlotte (near the airport).  To all volunteers, please make sure to wear comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting dirty, and come ready to have fun with some furry friends!
    • OrgSync:  Make sure to upload all your participation to OrgSync, which can be done by following this link and logging in using your NinerNet credentials:  https://orgsync.com/75602/chapter.  We're all required to do at least two community service and one enrichment event per semester, and this will be checked at the end of the semester.  If you have any questions about this, please get in touch with me or one of the other officers. 
  • Your Accomplishments:  If you haven't already, please follow this link and list all of your great accomplishments from the past academic year.  Don't be afraid to brag on yourself, and Mrs. R would greatly appreciate your participation! 
  • UHP Director Search:  Next week, there will be two more candidates for UHP director who will be presenting their visions for our program.  Students are strongly encouraged to attend and give their feedback about the candidates.  Presentations will be held from 1:30-2:30 p.m. in Woodward Hall 125.  The dates are as follows: 
    • Monday, April 28:  Dr. Jennifer Warner (Biology Dept.) 
    • Tuesday, April 29:  Dr. Oscar Lansen (History Dept.)
  • Callout for pictures:  Please email any pictures/videos you have of yourself and any other UHP'ers (doesn't necessarily have to be at a UHP-sponsored event) to our historians Cassady Tetsworth (ctetswor@uncc.edu) and Heather Roberson (hrobers4@uncc.edu).
·  That's all for this week folks!  Look forward to seeing many of your smiling faces next Sunday at the Spring Banquet!
