ANNOUNCEMENTS

Monday Morning to Cease Publication March 7
After many years, the time has come to cease publication of Monday Morning. Started some 20 years ago as a print publication and morphing into an online version in 2001, Monday Morning was at one time the sole listing of campus events and announcements. The wide use of campuswide e-mail announcements and the success of the Events Master Calendar now make this publication obsolete, and so the Public Information Office has decided to cease publication with the March 4, 2004 edition.

Transportation Web Site Launched
The new transportation Web site is now live at www.unca.edu/transportation. It details a host of transportation and parking alternatives for students, faculty and staff, including the new UNCA shuttle routes with stops along Merrimon Ave. and the new statewide car pooling program.
