Reminders, deadlines and events

* University Libraries is hosting "Navigating University Libraries" for all students from 4:30-5:30 p.m. today (Tuesday, Aug. 22). The event will begin with a tour, starting in the main corridor of Ablah Library, and will end in Room 217 for a presentation. For more information, go to http://wichita.libcal.com/event/3385180

* Because some Verizon network antennas were relocated over the summer in the vicinity of campus, Verizon wireless customers on campus will experience a reduced level of signal strength this fall compared to previous semesters. Verizon is aware of the situation and is addressing the issue, but they do not expect to provide improvements before January 2018. Depending on your location on campus at a given time, and many other factors, you may or may not receive a usable signal at this time.
