FINAL EXAM WEEK

WORK GROUPS/COMMITTEE UPDATES

INTERNATIONAL  PRACTICUM

• We have received 6 applications for Intercultural Experiences for Summer 2014.  A faculty work group will be meeting to review the applications with the plan for making the announcements as soon as possible.  Thank you for your interest!

TECHNOLOGY WORK GROUP

• On April 18, 2013, the COE Advisory Council approved the policy giving guidance to computer purchasing, accountability tracking as well as technical support in the College of Education. The policy was developed by the COE technology workgroup this year from representatives from each department in the COE. 

• Highlights of this policy are:
• All COE computers will be tracked by my office – relieving individual COE departments coordinating with JMU fixed asset and surplus property. 
• Guidelines for purchase and accountability of computers from grants or funding sources outside the COE.
• Resources and technology support of one computer (primary productivity device) for each faculty & staff person to utilize for their professional work in the COE.
• It is hoped that these guidelines will provide increased efficiency and accountability across our professional community in the COE. We look forward to providing excellent support and resources for computing tools among faculty and staff.

We are pleased to inform you of the 3^rd Annual Noftsinger Celebration of Madison Scholarship, to be hosted as part of May Symposium. We welcome your participation to showcase scholarship from the College of Education. Developed to promote collaboration, networking, and the celebration of good works across all areas of scholarship in a friendly, collegial environment, the event will be held at the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, May 9, from 3:30-6:30 p.m.  The first half of the celebration will include JMU Voices of Scholarship and Faculty Performances, followed by a reception in the Upstairs Lobby of the Forbes Center.  We hope that you will attend some or all of the events.  Space is limited, so please encourage colleagues to register:   http://www.jmu.edu/cfi/maysymposium/2013/scholarship/noftsinger.html

At the reception in the Upstairs Lobby of the Forbes Center, the College of Education will  host a table/station with faculty scholarship examples represented.  To that end, we need your help with collecting and displaying faculty scholarship artifacts (journal articles, book chapters, books, grants funded, audio-visuals, visuals, recordings, arrangements, art, sculpture, design, etc…). In the past, we have had a very impressive showing of our work and we invite you to showcase your work this time around!  

Please bring your examples (Copies of manuscripts, actually journals, textbooks, power points that we can who on a monitor, etc.) to the Associate/Assistant Dean's Office by Tuesday, May 7th for inclusion in the display. If you would help us out by representing the college at the reception, between 5:00-6:30 p.m. on May 9, we would be extremely grateful.
