Members of the community are invited to show their concern and solidarity with the people of Ukraine by participating in MИP*: Ukrainian Peace Project, an outdoor art installation designed by students in ARTS 111/121 - Drawing Design class. In this project, participants may offer a prayer, thought, or hope for the Ukrainian people by writing it down on a small piece of paper and hanging it among others from one of several ribbons hung around the trees. All materials are provided at the installation site. The project will take place on the Viterbo University campus, at the Birch trees behind Murphy Center. The event will begin at 3:30 p.m. with a student-led vigil on Monday, March 21.

IIT will be conducting a number of updates over spring break. On Wednesday March 16 8 a.m.-noon: Printing to network attached printers and usage of multi-function devices for printing, emailing, or copying will be down as we update the servers responsible for that functionality. This includes services offered in the Copy & Mail Center. Wednesday March 16 from 5:30-10 p.m.: Network updates will occur causing internet access from on campus as well as off-campus access to on-site systems to experience periodic outages. Plan accordingly for these outages. As always, you can monitor Is It Down for planned or unexpected system/network outages.
Sophomore Students: You are invited to join your fellow sophomores to enjoy a free meal and spend some time with your professors the first night back from spring break, Monday, March 21 at 6 p.m. in RCE 134. The mood will be casual, and you’ll have a chance to get to know your faculty, meet new people (feel free to bring your sophomore friends and come as a group), ask questions (e.g., Should I take a minor? What is that class like? Where do I go to find information about internships?), and eat something tasty. Email AcademicsOffice@viterbo.edu by Tuesday, March 15 to let us know if you can attend and if you have any dietary restrictions.
