Advanced Blackboard Users Grant ($500)
Dear Faculty,
Governor Schwarzenegger issued an Executive Order declaring Friday, June 11, 2004, a Day of Mourning in California to honor the life and legacy of President Reagan. The Governor called upon the people of California to observe this Day of Mourning as we pay homage to the memory of President Reagan. The Library building will be closed this Friday to observe this Day of Mourning.
Therefore, we are rescheduling the Advanced Blackboard Users Training to June 18th. The first session will start at 7:45 a.m. in room PLN-130.
