Problems with internet access

We innocently came in to work on a Monday morning only to find that every computer in the building had failed internet access.  Groan!!

We scurried around and performed a fix that the Helpdesk told us about.  Each machine had to be disconnected and rebooted.  We believe they are all connected again ... but if you find a specific machine that cannot connect to the internet, please tell us.

Special events this weekend

On Sept. 17-18, we begin our year-long celebration of Union Seminary's Bicentennial, with a host of special events.  On Saturday, there is our Convocation at Hampden-Sydney, where the Seminary was originally located.  Then, a cross-country bike ride to Richmond, to symbolize our move to a new campus in 1896.

On Sunday, fun activities are planned in the afternoon on the Quad ... square dancing, face painting, Nutsy the Squirrel, and lots of family games.  The bike-riders will arrive that afternoon.

Also on Sunday, the Library will be open in the afternoon, and Dr. William E. Thompson will be on hand to welcome visitors to our Bicentennial historical exhibit.  There are photo galleries and numerous displays of objects and documents from Union's past.

Come and participate in the Sunday fun!

A little noisy work today

Just letting you know that Maintenance will be working today on the HVAC system on the second floor, near the Graduate Seminar Room.  They will be making some noise that will be heard downstairs in the Reference Room.

If it bothers you, you might think about working in the Reserve Room instead ... or, be sure to bring your earbuds!
