Hi All,

Take a look if you get a second.  On Monday, several of you expressed an interest in learning more about emerging topics in Higher Education, so I am sharing these as I see them. http://business.time.com/2012/10/12/why-college-may-be-totally-free-within-10-years/
Thanks,

Subject: Spring registration

 

Dear Students,

Please see your advisor and enter your courses for Spring asap.  If you do not register soon, the courses you need may not be there as they might be cancelled for low enrollment.  Please let me know if you need assistance.

Best,
Dr. Abney
