No matter what your nickname for money is, Globe University-Woodbury students saved (on average) 58
dollars, bucks, smackers, bills…on their textbooks this quarter. How, you ask?  They earned Perfect Attendance last quarter. Congratulations to the 175 students that achieved this marvelous feat!

In order to make Perfect Attendance, students must attend the full length of every class period for the entire 12 weeks of the quarter. Online students must log in to each class a minimum of three times per week (Monday-Sunday) and participate in each assigned discussion post.

We appreciate your hard work and efforts. Good luck to all students striving to make it this quarter. You can do it!

What: A contest to name the Woodbury Campus blog

Where: Here!

How: Leave your suggestion in the comments section.

Who: The contest is open to anyone. Sorry staffers, only students are eligible for the prize.

Why: If the inner glow that would accompany such a great honor isn’t enough the owner of the winning suggestion will receive a $50 gift card to Target.

A reminder that Friday, January 8^th is a deadline to order scrubs on this order.

If you need to place an order pick up the form from the Front Desk or from one of the Information Central’s (located next to the elevator on 1^st and 2^nd floors). If needed, sample sizes are available in the school store. Once you’ve filled out the form return it to the front desk- before the deadline.

Students who have already placed a scrubs order should note that the delivery is expected to arrive early next week. You will be notified via email when the order is in.

With the new quarter, and the New Year, this is the time to make your resolutions to attend every class and actively participate in your courses throughout the quarter. Remember, perfect attendance can give you 20% off of books for the following quarter!  I also encourage you introduce yourself to your instructor, get to know your classmates and get a handle of the quarter’s work schedule based on your course syllabi.

To maximize your opportunity for success, take advantage of the following services/resources:

• GU/MSB Student E-mail – Stay informed with important e-mails from your instructors and staff
  
• Student Portal – Check out your schedule, pay your bills, print your unofficial transcript, and view the details of your student account
  
• Center for Academic Excellence- Utilize the support of one of our qualified instructors to get help with math, writing, basic computer skills, and more!
  
• Free Tutors – Live Online tutoring services are offered 24/7 across a wide range of subjects within the Blackboard section of your courses. We also offer free one on one tutoring for all students.  For assistance with online or in person tutoring, contact Lora Conwell by stopping by the front desk or via email at lconwell@globeuniversity.edu.
  
• Library – Margaret Stone, Campus Librarian,  and Nevanka Goonewardena, Associate Librarian, are available to assist with all your research needs at the campus library on the second floor or via email at mstone@globeuniveristy.edu, or ngoonewardena@globeuniversity.edu.  The library is also a comfy spot to study, read and relax. Our librarians are on campus Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 10 pm to assist students, staff and faculty.
  
• Staff and Faculty – Everyone at Globe University is committed to your success and is here to support you in reaching your goals!
