A woman who receives a WINGS scholarship has a clear educational and career plan; she has proven her ability to accomplish not only academic work but also to do well in other facets of life. Her own personal vision is so strong that people cannot help but want to support her in it. The WINGS Scholarship provides financial support but also offers something potentially even more valuable. Two or more seasoned, active, executive or professional women chosen for the specific expertise they can bring to the recipient's plan for herself are assigned as mentors to every WINGS recipient. What these mentors give is their own experience, perspectives, counsel, networks, and personal support - what they give is themselves. Throughout the year, recipients meet with their mentors, and attendance is required at the WINGS scholarship luncheon which honors the recipients and graduates. Eligible applicants will be considered who... * Have a clear sense for what they want to achieve through education and a plan for doing it. * Have successfully completed some post-high school studies with a grade-point average of 2.5 whether they are currently enrolled or not. * Have shown not only in their studies but also in other ways that they are serious about their personal and career goals. * Are U.S. citizens * Are at least 25 years old. * Meet eligibility criteria to receive financial aid * Are the major source of financial support for themselves and/or their children, or need retraining in order to achieve higher earnings or greater financial security. If you are interested in applying for this wonderful scholarship opportunity for the upcoming 2008-2009 school year, please come by the Financial Aid office (Central High Building, Room 206) to pick up a scholarship application. All applications received by April 18 (application deadline) will be considered. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The purpose of the event is to provide the College with an opportunity to role play a "real-life" crisis event and to test our emergency preparedness and crisis communications plans. Please note, due to security reasons, the Harper Campus will not be open to the public that day. Only those signed up to assist with the drill will be allowed on campus. The drill will be held during Spring Break; therefore, we are in need of more than 200 volunteers to assist with this effort. Volunteers should report to the Harper Campus at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast and an orientation session. Volunteers will learn more about the crisis situation and receive their assignment at that time. The mock crisis drill will be completed by no later than 1:00 p.m. Volunteers should plan to dress for an indoor or outdoor volunteer role. Volunteers are eligible for three hours of professional development credit. Anyone interested can sign up through LearnerWeb . For more information, contact Kathy Watkins at 704.330.6299. Please note, anyone volunteering must have a CPCC photo ID card. Photo ID cards can be made at any campus from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's part of the human condition. Yet bringing out creativity and putting it to work productively in a group setting can be a challenge.

This workshop will focus on strategies for engaging everyone to participate, not just the boisterous, the extroverts, or the loudest. By looking at a set of ground rules for working together, initiatives to help demonstrate good teamwork and tools and techniques to help students collaborate effectively, you'll walk away with more strategies and tactics to integrate teamwork in the classroom.

Office Depot is the exclusive office supplies vendor for term contract 615A. However, products not listed or covered by the contract may be purchased from best available sources including CPCC's new secondary Office Depot account #47751820 by calling national customer service at 800.419.4624. The contract indicates a minimum order of $100.00 for any single order; Office Depot itself does not impose this minimum order. CPCC is authorized to purchase from best available sources on orders less than this minimum order value. This provision shall not be used by an agency to circumvent the intent of the contract. Understanding that Office Depot incurs costs each time a delivery is made, users are encouraged to manage their office supplies purchases and order at least $100.00 minimum whenever possible. If you have an urgent requirement and elect to place an order for less than the minimum order value, transportation charges will not be charged by Office Depot. To view current pricing on all of Office Depot's state contract items, visit http://www.doa.state.nc.us/PandC/numlistt.asp (click on 615A), open contract. Scroll to Page 5, Item D, and double click on the PDF link (View Pricing in Schedule format (PDF file). Check your invoice/statement to verify state contract pricing. Report any discrepancies to CPCC's Office Depot representative, Steven Tarlowe, at 704.678.8360 for correction.

When purchasing goods, users should select a non-900 commodity code. When purchasing services, users should select a 900 commodity code. If a requisition contains both goods and services, these line items should be separated and marked accordingly. For non-catalog items, users can search for a commodity code in E-Procurement by typing in the commodity code or the item description. Commodity Codes can also be found on P&C's webpage (http://www.ncpandc.gov/nigpcode.htm). Entering freight charges: The E-Procurement transaction fee is not assessed on freight. Unless your entity's policies indicate otherwise, users should enter freight charges in E-Procurement as a separate non-catalog line item.

The event was scheduled to better prepare for possible threats to campus security and to test the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Safety Plan. The live exercise involved staff and student volunteers in a simulated incident. In addition to CPCC, the exercise involved other public safety agencies including the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Charlotte Fire Department, Medic, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management, and Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office. The mock incident involved various scenarios, including role playing of an active shooter, an explosion, gunfire, and injuries. Following the mock incident, CPCC participated in a debriefing session to discuss ways to strengthen the All Hazards Emergency Response Plan and the College's crisis communications plan. The mock drill allowed the College to test communication vehicles such as email to all students and staff, text messaging to a core group of staff, an alert button on the CPCC homepage, messaging on CPCC TV, information at the CPCC Call Center, and the recorded message on our emergency phone line at 704.330.6888. CPCC will use the information learned from this mock drill to enhance the overall crisis plan for the College. Many thanks to all who played a part in this effort. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To achieve this goal, you can use Outlook to monitor individual message sizes. For example, you can sort your messages so that they appear in order from largest to smallest. If you want to know the exact size of each of the large messages in your mailbox, you can see them by displaying the message in Table View. After you find big messages, you can then decide whether they're worth keeping (considering their size). For options other than deleting, please see CPCC's MS Office 2007 page at http://www1.cpcc.edu/its/faculty-staff/office-2007 For support with this or any other IT Service, contact the ITS Help Desk at 5000. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Adult High School/GED ceremony is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The College ceremony is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. All CPCC faculty and staff and all guests will need to go through a security check, so please allow adequate time. According to the full-time instructor job description, one of the responsibilities of a full-time faculty member is to participate in activities which enhance the College's service to students and to the community. Participation in graduation ceremonies is one way faculty meet this responsibility. Because the College conducts only one graduation ceremony each year, all faculty are expected to march in cap and gown in the ceremony unless they are assisting with graduation as a member of the graduation committee or as a volunteer or unless they are participating in or assisting with the Adult High School/GED ceremony. If a faculty member is unable to participate in the graduation ceremony, the faculty member is expected to inform the division director. Exceptions to active participation in the graduation ceremony will be handled on an individual basis at the division level. Regalia are on sale now at the CPCC Majors Bookstore. Faculty are reminded that rental orders need to be placed by April 18, 2008, and purchases of the Class Keeper Graduate Fabric need to be ordered by April 7, 2008, in order to arrive in time for the ceremony. Mark Helms is coordinating volunteers for the College graduation, and Florence Patterson is coordinating volunteers for the Adult High School/GED graduation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can schedule activities in your Outlook Calendar as appointments, meetings, events, or tasks. Your choice of entry type will depend on who else is involved and how you want the entry to appear. By selecting entries in your calendar correctly, you'll know at a glance what's going on, when, and with whom. You'll choose from four types of entry. 1. Appointment: An appointment is an activity that involves only you, at a scheduled time. 2. Meeting: A meeting occurs at a scheduled time, like an appointment. The difference is that you invite other people by using a meeting request that's sent via e-mail. 3. Event: An event is an activity that lasts all day long. Unlike an appointment or meeting, an event doesn't block out time in your calendar. With an event, you can still have other entries appear in your schedule for that day. 4. Task: A task is an activity that involves only you, and that doesn't need a scheduled time. New to Outlook 2007 is an area in your calendar's Day and Week views that shows tasks. For further information, check out CPCC's MS Office 2007 project page at http://www1.cpcc.edu/its/faculty-staff/office-2007.
