Published each monthly during the summer, for the faculty and staff of the NC State College of Management.
Money in the Morning ... a personal finance workshop
The college has partnered with the investment firm Scott and Stringfellow [a BB&T Corporate Affiliate] to present a series of three personal finance workshops - Money in the Morning - to be held at the Capital City Club in Raleigh, 7:30 -9:00 a.m.

Please RSVP to her directly at 919.571.1893 by June 12. We have heard that he is a dynamic speaker who makes the subject matter understandable. Finance faculty members Bart Danielsen and Richard Warr helped guide the selection of topics for this series.
Following are details about this event.

Faculty support: accessible web pages
Charlie Canteen, our webmaster, has created a course page template that meets the university's accessibility standards. The college's communications and IT offices also have two student workers available this summer to help faculty wanting to move content into the new templates. Please call or email Charlie for assistance.
Student surveyers coming your way
Students in this summer's Integrated Marketing Communications class (BUS 465) are preparing a survey of faculty regarding a proposed online course catalog for the college. Under discussion for the past year, this project would provide a directory of College of Management courses, hosted on the college's website.
Student workers in the college communications office would create a page for each course that would contain basic information as well as many details as the faculty member would like to include, such as a syllabus, career options, and student testimonials, to help market the course to students. These course information pages would be up year-round, and would provide a way for students to explore course options. The college's communications and IT offices would provide student workers to help create the course pages for the directory initially, but faculty would need to provide updates, either working through Contribute on their own or by submitting changes to the college communcations office. The student survey will be seeking faculty interest in this project, to help us decide if we should go forward with this.
First Friday communications meetings under way
The Communications Office has started a First Friday meeting of staff in the college who are involved with communications activities for their departments/units. We are discussing coming events, marketing-related communications activites, product needs, tools and resources, website matters, and best practices. A blog is being developed for communication between meetings. The next session will be Friday, July 6 10 a.m. to 12 noon in the Board Room. If staff would like to attend and haven't been receiving email messages about this, please contact Christine Miller and ask to be added to the mailing list.
