Professional Conduct and Employee Rights

We’re on the home stretch, just a couple more weeks to go!

But if you need a break from studying, from working, or just feel a little frazzled, we are very excited to welcome Kathleen Rinehart, the Marian University Legal Counsel, to speak on behalf of our program.

Kathleen Rinehart will be speaking tomorrow,
April 27th at 2:30 PM in T205.

Ms. Rinehart will speak about the ever important issue of conduct and professionalism in the workplace.  For those of you about to graduate or even to embark on a new off-site research project, this is a can’t miss presentation!

Most of us know that we can’t copy/paste swaths from Wikipedia into our papers, or that we can’t  cheat on tests.  But do we know what comes next?  What happens if your boss asks you to perform a task that is clearly immoral?  What if you are consistently belittled by a coworker and don’t know how to stand up for your rights?  What happens if another lab worker blatantly steals your work and pawns it off as his own?

…if you come armed with questions, there’s a good chance you’ll get the answers.

In the past, we’ve had paltry attendance at Renaissance Scholar events among our most important group… our Scholars.  Maybe you don’t realize, but these events are put forth to help you become better, more knowledgeable human beings.

So keep that in mind when choosing whether or not to attend the program.

And good luck on finals!

Put First Things First

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least."
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



"Putting first things first means doing to the most important things in life. It means being clear about your priorities and acting on them. Many people unconsciously fall into the trap of getting caught up in non-important things. They neglect the larger life priorities until it becomes too late to act on them."
--Celestine Chua

Put First Things First is Habit # 3 of Stephen Covey’s book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Coming soon to Marian University

TRiO Day Celebration
Marian University TRiO programs – Student Support Services (SSS) and McNair Scholars Program – will   participate in National TRiO Day on Monday, February 28, 2011. Historically, the TRiO Day Celebration is a nationwide community service initiative.  In honor of this special day, these two programs will conduct a series of activities that will bring more awareness of TRiO services available to Marian University students.
TRiO programs are funded through the U.S. Department of Education to serve students who meet one or more of the eligibility criteria: first-generation, low-income, documented disability and/or a member of a group underrepresented in graduate education. They were originally established by the federal government in 1965 to ensure equal educational opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic circumstance.
At this point, TRiO Programs at Marian University include Student Support Services (SSS) and the McNair Scholars Program.
