SEXUAL ETHICS WORKSHOP
A Sexual Abuse Prevention Workshop will be held from 8:30am to 4:00pm Wednesday, Sept. 24 in Valentine Auditorium. Requirements: All day attendance and attentive participation are required on the part of students. Required reading for the workshop is Safe Connections: What Parishioners Can Do to Understand and Prevent Clergy Abuse, by Jan Erickson-Pearson. (This is for sale in the LTSG bookstore.) Please bring this resource to the workshop.
To register for the workshop, see Julie Langas, jlangas@ltsg.edu. Students who have registered for the workshop will receive an Agenda via email.
ROAD REPAIRS
Today, road repairs and replacement of sidewalks, curbing and drain and water pipework will begin on the main roadway through the Gettysburg Seminary campus. Early work will cause the sidewalks to be unavailable, and one way only auto traffic southbound. Pedestrians will need to use grassy areas on either side of the roadway. The residential roadway to the Quad and Baughman hall will remain open throughout the project as will the Springs Ave intersection with the Ridge. Public parking areas will initially remain available near the library, but during some of the project, when the lot is inaccessible, students and staff should use Springs Avenue for parking.
This road, and the project, is undertaken by the National Park Service, for since 1895, the roadway between Route 30 and Route 116 has been owned by the Federal Government. We anticipate improved curbing, greater accessibility and safer crosswalks as a result. The repair project is expected to take up to five weeks.
OFFICE 2007 ULTIMATE
Microsoft is making Office 2007 Ultimate available to higher education students for a cost of only $60. This is a limited time offer. For more information visit the website they have set up for this at Ultimate Steal. This is a legitimate Microsoft program, but it is only for students. Faculty and staff are not included in the offer. If you have any questions, contact Don Redman at dredman@ltsg.edu.

VALENTINE OFFICE RELOCATION
A reminder: Six offices relocated in May to gather student services into the north wing of Valentine Hall's second floor. Admissions and Financial Aid staff moved into space previously housing Communications. Communications moved to the end of the 2nd floor where the Business Office was located. Financial Services (formerly Business Office) resides on the first floor where Admissions was located. Floor plans with updated office markers are available at the Reception Desk.
