4. Annual Fund Student Advisory Committee

In May 2008, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution to raise $1 Billion by 2012 to fund the Vision for the Second Century. We are currently seeking a select group of student leaders to help with our Annual Fund Student Advisory Committee. All students are invited to participate on the committee. The committee?s immediate purpose is to facilitate discussion and cooperation between those involved with the Centennial Campaign and those most directly impacted by the campaign -- current Rice University students. Activities related to the campaign and the Annual Fund will be on-going starting this month. All interested students should contact Sean Britton at seanb@rice.edu or 713-348-3287. Our first meeting will be near the end of October (with free food!)

5. Yearbooks

So, by now you've probably seen your fellow students poring through the Campanile yearbook... and you want your OWN. Although you've missed our distribution, there's still a chance to get your own special copy!
You can come up to the Campanile office on the 2nd floor, above the Academic Advising office stairs anytime during our office hours:
Monday 10-12:30
Tuesday 1-3
Thursday 1-3
Friday 10-12:30

Feel free to email yearbook@rice.edu with questions!

6. Email login required to send messages as of October 15

Since April 20, 2009, IT has been distributing reminders to the campus about the fact that your NetID login will be required in order to send email messages to non-Rice addresses starting October 15, 2009.

IMPACT: If NetID authentication has not been provided, each message sent to an address that does not end in "rice.edu" will result in an error notification.

* Your Rice FAX, printer, and other devices sending messages to addresses ending in rice.edu will NOT be affected.
* If you use webmail.rice.edu, you will NOT be affected.
* If your messages go to only rice.edu addresses, you will NOT be affected.

Thanks to everyone who has already adjusted their email clients to use NetID authentication for reading and sending messages.

If you do experience issues sending mail on or after October 15, please contact the Help Desk: 713.348.HELP (4357) for assistance.
