MAC E-News - Welcome Class of 2008!
MAC ORIENTATION
We are kicking off the Fall 2007 semester with MAC Orientation, scheduled for Friday, August 24th. Team building and informational activities will be planned for both the morning and afternoon, so mark your calendars now. We'll send you more information on orientation in a later newsletter, but it is expected to last from 8:00 a.m - 3:30 p.m approximately.
Many of you may have received an e-mail from the NC State Graduate School concerning the New Graduate Student Orientation that the University has scheduled for Tuesday, August 21. Since the MAC Program provides you with our own orientation session, you are not required to attend the University's session on the 21st - it is an optional activity instead. The morning session on the 21st does provide general information useful for all graduate students, which some of you may be interested in hearing.
MAC LAB
All MAC students have access to the MAC Lab, in Nelson 1418. There are computers and work spaces for your use, along with a refrigerator, microwave, etc. The doors to the MAC Lab have keyless-entry locks. The codes to these locks will be sent to you in a separate email. Please guard these codes and do not give them out to non-MAC students.
You also have access to a locker in the graduate area. If you would like to use a locker please select one that does not already have a lock on it, and e-mail Ryan Platin with the locker number. You will be responsible for anything left inside the locker-so protect yourself and lock it after use!
PAPERWORK FOR FALL PAYCHECKS
If you have been assigned as a Faculty Assistant, ACC 220 General Assistant, Accounting Clinic Assistant, or ACC 220 Lab Instructor and have not yet completed your department paperwork, please see Ryan Platin as soon as possible. Be sure to bring a copy of your social security card and your driver's license - Ryan needs them to process your paperwork - which you need to get paid in the fall.
RESCHEDULED FALL CLASS PERIODS
To help those that will be job searching this fall, classes have been moved Wednesdays-Fridays during the weeks of October 10 - October 26th. Classes will still meet on Mondays and Tuesdays during those weeks, but the last half of the week is open for recruiting office visits.
To make up for the missed days, we will be rescheduling those classes for the same times (1:30-2:45, 3:00-4:15) on four Fridays throughout the semester. Right now, we expect them to be two Fridays in September and two in November. The November dates will be:
Friday, November 9th - ACC 519 & ACC 533
Friday, November 16th - ACC 519 & ACC 533
