1. Blackboard NG Workshop – Mary Schutten
I attended the Bb NG workshop and our IT has put together an impressive list of mini tutorials as well as a quick reference guide. www.gvsu.edu/it/bbng. This site should be on each syllabus to help students as well. Also, the recommended browser is Mozilla Firefox not IExplorer.

2. Follow-up Message from Nancy Ruppert, GR Convention and Visitors Bureau
Thank you all for your time during my presentation at your April meeting. Because 80% of all regional and national conventions that come to Grand Rapids are initially contacted through a local chapter member, I really need your help. If you have a name of an association that you would like me to research and pursue the convention for Grand Rapids, will you please take a few minutes and visit, www.bringittograndrapids.com? You will find a form that you can fill out and send back to me about your group. I will then look into what it would take to host the groups’ convention here in our city. Let’s work together and Bring It To Grand Rapids!
~Nancy
