Senate will meet tonight

The university senate, UW's academic governing body, holds its monthly meeting at 7:30 tonight in Needles Hall room 3001. Let's see what's on the agenda:

Introducing the Xerox internships

A "three-way pioneering partnership program" is to be launched with an event this afternoon at Cawthra Park Secondary School in Mississauga. The partners are UW, a group of Ontario school boards, and Xerox Canada, who together are sponsoring the Xerox Co-op Teaching Internships Program. The idea: "The program will place UW co-operative education (work-term) students in teaching internships aimed at promoting information technology literacy. As part of the Xerox Information Technology Literacy program, this initiative will encourage the transfer of up-to-date knowledge and skills for the benefit of students, teachers and society."

Math faculty keeps planning

The planning committee in the faculty of mathematics has issued its final report, which is available on UWinfo, or directly, through the newsgroup uw.math.faculty.planning.

The planning starts with this "Vision":

The Faculty of Mathematics has as its vision to be, and to be widely recognized as, the leading university institution in Canada devoted to the advancement, communication and application of the mathematical and computer sciences.

To realize its vision, the Faculty will pursue the following long range objectives:
1. to promote, expect and value effective teaching and learning.
2. to develop undergraduate and graduate programs supported by rationales of academic merit and societal need.
3. to develop broadly based support and funding for both basic and applied research.
4. to be an advocate for the mathematical and computer sciences in the spheres of education, government and industry.
5. to provide a leading computing and networking infrastructure.
6. to enhance the quality of life for work and study, for all in the Faculty.

If you park in H lot

Some time this week, cars in parking lot H will find notices under their windshield, says Elaine Koolstra, the manager of parking services. The notice draws attention to the parking operation's new computerized record system and the need for new information about the people who have parking stickers. And it tells people what they need to do now:
Complete the application (on the back of this notice) and together with your access card come into . . . Parking Services, Commissary . . . October 30th -- Novembaer 10th, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. -- 10 p.m. Access cards currently issued will be turned off after November 10th preventing entry.
Hey, that's me. See you at the parking counter.
