Sharfman’s List is out.

Here’s the link to the list, or travel through Manchester’s
home page.
Want
to feel like a true insider?
Check out the new SpartanCams inside the College Union! Yup, in
addition to the southern view from the top of Garver Hall, we’ve got
cameras set up in the huge Haist Commons (looks like they’re getting
ready for some painting), and facing the kitchen/serving area.
Here’s the link to all of our
SpartanCams, which we always can find on the home page.
97.5% of our 2006 grads are employed, in school, doing service, or
not seeking employment. That’s our best success in five years, and
cements a five-year average of 96 percent! This is no estimate … we
have tracked down all but one grad! Spread the word: An education at
Manchester College gets results.
Expect
some smiles at the All-Staff meeting

Find
Your Place …
Hopefully, this
tagline is beginning to look familiar. It is the beginning of a
marketing campaign wrapped around the results of extensive research
on what our target students and their parents are seeking in a
college. A PowerPoint template with the logos is available for
faculty and staff presentations (on whatever topic) … check it out
in the Communication and Marketing folder on your U Drive.
Join the Koinonia
Owl Prowl
on
Monday, Jan. 29. Jerry Sweeten (biology) will attempt to call out
owls nesting in our Environmental Center for our observation and
amusement. This is the twitterpating season, so the owls may not be
so amused by who’s screeching. Jerry and Koinonia Director Rainn MacPhail are working
together on this free public program and night hike.
Here’s the story.

TIAA-CREF deposit
update:
Client services reports that TIAA-CREF has received all of
Manchester College’s deposits on our behalf and has duly credited
them through the end of 2006. Our last quarterly statement (as of
Dec. 6, 2006) is missing the last three deposits. TIAA-CREF has
apologized and promises that its error will not affect our account
values. Because so many colleges and universities are involved, they
cannot produce corrected quarterly statements.

Want to buy lots of something?
Need to do price comparisons, file a credit application with a new
vendor, see if we can buy something cheaper … ask the Purchasing
Office! This new office, led by
Quentin Moudy in the garden level of the Ad Building (Room 9),
stands ready to free us from the challenges of purchasing, and, of
course, to get our purchase orders. x5267.
