3) Poetry Reading by Barry Seiler of the Writing Program - Monday, April 30th.

Barry Seiler is leaving Rutgers after a long teaching career at the Writing Program/English Department, and on this occasion we gather for poetry reading. Barry has requested that the program begin with an open reading in which others from the Writing Program or elsewhere who wish to read their own poetry (about 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of interested

readers) are invited to do so. We only ask that you pre-register with Jonathan Hall in the Writing Program by Friday 4/27, so that we can apportion out the time (jonhall1@andromeda.rutgers.edu or 973-353-5851.)

Date/Time: Monday, April 30 at 4:00 p.m.

Location: Dana Room, 4th floor of the Dana Library

4) University PC Purchase Cycle Program

Rutgers has initiated the University PC Purchase Cycle, a process to be repeated periodically for generating discount prices on desktop computers based on coordinated institutional purchases of systems in large volumes.

The current cycle is focusing on purchases to be made between now and July 1, and July 1 and Oct 1. For more information on the process and how your department can participate, go to http://findtech.rutgers.edu/pccycle.
