Coming up:
Employees: Friday, May 13, 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. is the Annual Employee Picnic. Join the Hospitality Committee for lunch and fellowship in the Assisi Courtyard. All efforts are being made to accommodate accurate catering numbers so please RSVP here if you plan to attend (please note that this event is for employees only even though you can RSVP for more than one thru signupgenius).
Attention students and faculty: Most library books (not to be confused with textbook rentals) are due back by Friday, May 13. Remember to return all of your library books before you leave campus for the summer to avoid late fees and replacement charges. Note that students may not be able to register or receive a diploma until library fines are settled.
Students: Employee assembly is sponsoring a Food for Finals booth for students. Three locations will be available during the week of finals week for students to grab a snack as they study for their exams: located in the Academic Resource Center, Copy Center and Library.
Rental books are due back by Monday, May 16. Students who have rented a book, can drop it off in-store (preferred method), utilize the dropbox inside the student union, or ship it back at their expense. Convert to purchase costs are far less than any non-return fees so please log into your bookstore account or contact the bookstore before May 16 if you would like to keep your rental. Non-return charges will go out at the end of the month.
Buyback going on now at the bookstore: Bring any books purchased into the bookstore to see what can be purchased from you. The bookstore pays cash and a student ID is required. For off-campus selling, click on "Sell Your Textbooks" link at the bottom of www.viterbostore.com.
Volunteers needed: The Place of Grace garden is in need of volunteers to weed and water over the summer. Those who can contribute a few hours each week can sign up using this link. Email lweide70228@viterbo.edu for questions.
