This semester we will identify short-term, mid-range, and long-term actions for a three-year plan of coordinated activity around two pillars – resource use (plastics, energy, food, paper) and nature-friendly initiatives (birds, pollinators, plants) both within the focus of our campus and local community.

We are pleased to share that we have completed the website for purchasing tickets for the basket raffle being held to raise money to support the recovery of Leticia Banks.
Leticia remains hospitalized as her physicians continue monitoring her progress and the long road to recovery. Leticia still relies on significant medical care and interventions. However, recently a few of Leticia’s friends were able to visit with her and her family at the hospital. This visitation opportunity was a notable marker on her recuperation journey.
This website provides a vehicle for individuals who want to offer financial support to Leticia and her family as they embark on a significant rehabilitation process. If you would like to donate funds to this effort but do not wish to participate in the basket raffle, there is an option on the website to donate.
Individuals who want to purchase raffle tickets can place their orders online, pick up their tickets, and deposit them in the raffle pools for the baskets they are interested in winning. Once purchased, your raffle tickets can be picked up in OM-102 between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Winners will be drawn on March 1; ticket purchases will be closed at noon on February 28.
Thank you all for considering supporting Leticia and her family through this initiative.

Did you know that you can prevent students from accessing a course activity until they complete another activity or show mastery of some material?
This simple method of interactivity can be useful for a wide range of scenarios:
Here are COLI’s tutorials on setting up and using release conditions:
