Keep up your energy until finals are over. Those of you applying for scholarships...you are almost there! Appointment times are filling up fast. Appointments with tutors give you 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to cover your subject. Come prepared to make the most of it. These last weeks of school are intense. Please keep the appointments you make or cancel them so another TRiO student can use that time. Also, please don't sign up on the board when you will have an appointment in a few minutes. Leave the drop-in time for another student as the tutor won't be available again until the end of your session. Printing "All" or a "Selection". Did you know you don't need to print the whole document if you have a change on only one page? You can print each page separately. You can also highlight information and print only the "selection." "Selection" printing sometimes requires an extra step when on the Internet. A tutor will be glad to show you how this is done. Advance warning to save all your work from the NetStorage at Lane to a flash drive or send it as attachments in an email to yourself. During the spring break, the " My Documents" of the "N" drive will be purged. PI Day Celebration-Food Drive for Food for Lane County. Pi Day is 3.14 (March 14th).

A healthy supply is normally 8-9 weeks. To help raise the supply, departments and divisions across campus are collecting canned food from March 1 through March 14 each with the goal of reaching 314 items. (Barrel in TLC). To raise even more food for FFLC, we will collect additional items during the pi(e) bake-off on Pi Day, March 14 (3.14) in the cafeteria (this is a location change from building 16). From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., anyone donating a food item or a couple quarters (round for pi) will get a piece of pie and vote for their favorite pie. For every dollar donated, Food for Lane County can access and distribute three meals. Free Tax Help. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through April 17th, cafeteria.

Additional workshops: Wednesday Feb 29th, 1-2:20, 30/114 (with Jill Siegfried) Thursday, March 1st, 1:00-2:00 or 2:00-3:00, TBA (Christina Salter) Scholarship Application Deadlines are fast approaching! OSAC application is due March 1st, Lane Foundation application is due March 15th. These are great opportunities to apply for multiple scholarships with one application process. And even better, the Lane application uses the same essays and Activities Chart as the OSAC application uses. Did you know there is a scholarship specifically for TRiO students in the Lane Foundation Book? That means you are only competing with about 100 other students because 80 of our students won't be back next year due to graduation and transfer. There is also a scholarship offered through Disability Resources. Be sure to apply! Lane has received a donation for a $2500, annual, need-based scholarship for culinary students. The donor does not care if the students are first or second year students. But if possible, the donor's preference is to direct the scholarships to minority students. The donor has long admired the work of our culinary program and its wonderful faculty! PSU Visits Lane. Interested in PSU's Extended Campus program?

Don't miss mid-February and mid-March deadlines at the University of Oregon (and be sure to check out deadlines for other schools you might be attending next year). Check out the transfer website for all sorts of great information http://admissions.uoregon.edu/transfer/transfer). Get your Application Fee Deferral Form from Marla. Community Forum Workshops. Interested in culinary arts? Julie Fether from Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management programs at Lane, will describe the major and career options in her department, as well as offer a tour of the facilities such as classrooms and kitchen's used for students in the programs. Wednesday, February 15th, 12:00-1:00, Bldg. 11, Room 240. Scholarships Essay Help. Please help our writing tutors help you by making appointments throughout the week to work on your essays. A few of you could have gotten help last week if you had signed up for an appointment that was open and available at the time. Appointments have priority over drop-in help, but if you sign up on the board behind others, you have to wait your turn, and that's a truth for math as well. Activity Charts. If your Activities Chart entry takes up only ONE LINE, the "To" date gets cut off. So, in your next draft, you'll want to make sure that your entry takes up both lines. That's a good thing, since it means you'll want to add another "sentence" in the Responsibility/Accomplishment column to describe what you did, and then the entry will go onto the second line...and then the date will show. We'll show you this in class on Wednesday. Thank you for using the card holders while you work in the TLC. They help the tutors see that you are checked in, and, being easily visible, remind the tutors to document their time with you, which is vital to our funding. Yet, one of the main functions of the card holders is that using them assures the cards don't accidentally get swooped up with your books and papers when you leave, especially when leaving in a hurry. It is important the cards never leave the TLC as the documentation on your cards is only entered in the computer once or twice a week. Lost flash drives can be a disaster. Be sure to back up your work by saving to My Documents on the TRiO computers. Then, should your flash drive disappear, or you forget it at home, you have the work waiting for you at Lane. You can even upload work from home to the NetStorage (MyDocuments). Ask a tutor for the instructions. Ergonomic Chairs. Available through Disability Resources to those who have that accommodation. If you are registered with DR but don't know if you have that accommodation, check in their office. If you qualify, you can request an ergonomic chair be placed in the TRiO Learning Center (TLC) and in any of your classrooms. Pop-ups. If you are working on a college application or other program and it keeps rerouting you to a previous page, it may be your pop-up blocking software that is the problem. When you click on the link, watch the top of the page under the toolbars. If there is a brief flash of a message that says a pop-up has been blocked or that the program could not open a second window, you may have to temporarily turn off your pop-up blocker. Go to tools, pop-up blocker and choose turn off pop-up blocker. If this helps the problem then keep it off, but remember to turn it back on as soon as you are finished so that you don't get security problems. This was an issue with a UO application and may be with other programs. Free Tax Help. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until April 17th, in the Cafeteria. Please bring all tax forms and receipts. First come first served, No appointments. Benefit Concert for Women In Transitions with Soromundi, Lesbian Chorus of Eugene.
