SNOW and PARKING update

Accuweather is predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow from 4 p.m. today through 4 a.m. tomorrow with no wind and no drifting. Our weather response plan is to have one grounds crew working this evening to clear snow as it falls on walks, with four student shoveling crew members clearing snow from building entrances. At 5 a.m. tomorrow the full grounds crew will begin removing snow to be ready for classes in the morning.

As usual, if Mother Nature changes her mind, we’ll adjust accordingly. Please remember to drive and walk carefully and dress for the weather.

Here is the planned schedule for parking lot cleaning which reflects changes requested by several departments to minimize impact on planned programs. The changes are in the Hackman Lots alternative parking areas and the times for having your vehicles moved from these lots.

For smaller storms we clear the driveways in the student lots and wait for the snow around student vehicles to melt. However, last week’s storm left far too much snow for this snow removal strategy to be effective. With this much accumulated snow in the student lots we will need to have all student vehicles removed, the lots fully cleaned and student vehicles returned to their assigned lots. The Young Center and Chapel lots will be the temporary parkinglots for student vehicles while other parkinglots are cleaned.

Lot Location (where you are currently parked)	MOVE your vehicle to: (temporary alternative parking)	DATE/TIME (when you must *move your vehicle)*	DATE/TIME *(when you can return to original parking lot)*
Brown Lot	Young Center OR Chapel Lots	Wednesday, 2/17 BY 8 a.m.	Thursday, 2/18 7 a.m.
Quads Lot	Young Center OR Chapel Lots	Thursday, 2/18 BY 8 a.m.	Friday, 2/19 8 a.m.
Hackman Lots (north and south)	Young Center, Chapel Lots, Brown Lot, Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren Lot	Saturday, 2/20 BY 3 p.m.	Saturday, 2/21 midnight *Vehicles MUST be moved off the church lot by 8 a.m. for church services !*
Cedar Street	Young Center OR Chapel lots	Monday, 2/22 BY 8 a.m.	Tuesday, 2/23 8 a.m.
Myer Lot	Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren	Monday, 2/22 BY 8 a.m. Parking only on left side of lot. Look for signs.	Tuesday, 2/23 8 a.m.

Please remove all snow from your vehicles in the lot where it is normally parked so we can remove the snow during our clean up operations.

Also, as is our normal practice, you can borrow snow shovels at the Facilities Management office at the Brown Building between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. Snow shovels are also available at Campus Security 24/7.

Call for Nominations for Distinguished Student Awards & Points of Distinction Scholar

Senate — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:26:26 +0000

To: Campus Community

From: The Office of the Dean

Re: Call for Nominations for Distinguished Student Awards and Points of Distinction Scholar

Distinguished Student Awards

The Campus Life Council encourages nominations for this year’s Distinguished Student Awards. Students may nominate themselves or be nominated by a fellow student, faculty or staff member. Two distinguished students are chosen from each of the first-year, sophomore, junior and senior classes. College activities, leadership, community service, scholastics and other contributions to college life receive strong consideration. All nominees will be contacted for specific information relevant to the criteria stated. Award recipients will be announced at the annual Awards Ceremony at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 28, in Leffler Chapel.

Points of Distinction Scholar

In keeping with our commitment to “Educate for Service,” the Points of Distinction Scholar award will be granted to a senior student who best demonstrates an effective integration of the four strategic signature attributes of an Elizabethtown College education: relationship-centered learning, international and intercultural understanding, purposeful life work and experiential learning. Evidence of his or her engagement with our Points of Distinction may include achievements made through advising or mentoring relationships, international study or intercultural service project, a fulfilling internship experience, a campus or community leadership role, how he or she has integrated service into personal educational goals, etc. The Points of Distinction Scholar will be chosen from among those students who apply for the Distinguished Student Award (not a separate application process). This student also will be recognized at the Awards Ceremony.

Nominations (including student name(s) and class status) should be e-mailed to Brenda Brandt at brandtbl@etown.edu no later than 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30. A nomination form is available for downloading from Brenda’s public folder T:\Faculty & Staff By Department\Student Life Staff/Student Life/Brandtbl/Nomination Form
