For those of you who know where that quote is from, Congratulations. For those of you who don’t, go watch Alice in Wonderland in theaters now. It’s an awesome movie and totally worth the amount it will cost to go see it in IMAX. But seriously, i have been thinking about movies recently, but that’s because i was recently in one of the five minute movies for campus movie fests. Some of you might not know what that is, but there were posters everywhere!
Basically, if you wanted to make a movie, you grabbed equipment from the people running the program and had to use whatever was in the bag to make a movie. There was a camera, a Mac book, a cellphone, and a few other nifty things. Alot of people worked hard and there were over 30 movies made! That’s crazy. They’re all on Youtube now for your viewing pleasure, but if you want to go to a premiere party, it’s this Thursday in Cumnock hall. There, you the viewers can vote on whichever movie you want for the categories listed. I believe there is best drama, best comedy, and fan favourites. The winners of this competition will end up having their movies sent to New York for another vote and then maybe to Nationals! How awesome is that? Well, go support your classmates and see their awesome movies. See you Thursday!

Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

It’s Jeff here to smack you all with valuable information as well as talk about myself for a little bit…just kidding…but what have I been doing you ask?!?!?!

WELL, I have been busy studyin’ for a week full of exams coming up, working all around campus, preparing for the Big Jazz Night concert on Thursday, and most of all waiting for Orientation 20X to already happen!  I hope all of you are doing well in your classes and if you are struggling, that you are using all of the resources you have available to you here…fo free!!!

Now that you have had your weekly dose of “whats Jeff been doin'”, it is time to wash it down with “What the heck is going on?!?”.  


First thing is Dancing with the UML Stars.  It is a little over a month away but it is definitely something that you all should attend!  It is put on by the UML Ballroom Club and the night will be filled with Dancing with the Stars-esque performances and it is always really entertaining.  Look out for the flyers all around campus about official times and competitors!


The premier for the Campus Movie Fest is this Thursday at 7:30 in Cumnock Hall on North Campus!  Come and support your fellow movie directors and see some funny, sad, and thrilling 5 minute shorts!


Who loves Gospel music?!?!  Who doesn’t know if they love Gospel music?!?!  Well, this Saturday, March 27 at 2PM there will be the first annual Gospel concert put on by ASAO.  The concert is free and open to all and will have some of New England’s best Gospel groups performing so it should be a pretty neato concert!

Hello Bloggers,

Looking for a summer job?
Are you thinking about an internship?

Every spring semester, Career Services has the Summer and Beyond Career Fair. This year the date is April 14 from 1-4pm @ the Campus Rec Center. It may seem a ways away but your resume should be updated and you should learn how to dress and act appropriately at a career fair.

The services that Career Services offers to prepare you include resume/cover letter drop-in hours, (which vary daily, so make sure you check out their website) interviewing skills, and the ever popular program, “Dine and Dress for Success.” However, the date for this event has already passed. If you continue to be interested make sure to stop by their office and ask plenty of questions. Remember, THEY ARE HERE FOR US!!

Check out their website! http://www.uml.edu/student-services/Career_Services/default.html

Everything about the Career Fair is at the top right hand column. Make sure you check out what companies/employers will be there so you can map out a gameplan to make the most of your time.

Stay dry and have a great Tuesday! =)

Hey everybody, just dropping by to give you a quick look ahead at when you can begin registering for classes this upcoming fall semester. April 14 is the day that the enrolling/advising period begins. Most of you probably have had advising before, but for those of you who haven’t, it is a time when you meet with your advisor to discuss what classes you will take the following semester.
After you have your advising meeting, check your ISIS account for your enrollment appointment to see when you can begin registering for classes on ISIS.
Keep a lookout for upcoming news about the upcoming fall semester!

With the Spring weather starting up, everyone’s eyes are set on vacation. Whether it’s talking about going away for Spring break or trips they are planning for the summer, students want to travel!

If you’re paying for a vacation, it can get pricey pretty fast…even for just a week of fun in the sun! So why not use your semester’s pay for a semester long “vacation”? You can travel AND earn credits all at the same time!

Not sure when you’d wanna go? You can apply for a Study Abroad program that works for you in either the fall, spring, summer, OR winter sessions!
