Library Open House: Feb. 11th 4:30-6:30

Laura Zeigen, OHSU Systems and Web Development Librarian, has been aggressively revamping the OHSU library to accommodate students' needs. As a gesture of this work, the OHSU Library (the BICC, not the Old Library) will host its first "Open House". There will be opportunities to provide feedback to the library staff about what's right and what's wrong, as well as win prizes and enjoy free food and drink.

Please see below flier.

MARCH Fee for non-Marquam Hill Students

I have been working with the Graduate Council and other "Powers-that-be" at OHSU to waive the MARCH Center fee for students that are not based on the Marquam Hill Campus or CHH, and therefore at a huge disadvantage to employ their required membership. But since I am a student on the Marquam Campus, I do not have a good means to know if students based elsewhere are still getting billed $139/term. I have one source based at the VGTI (West Campus) telling me that they have no MARCH bill this term, which is very good news.

If you are a non-Marquam Hill/CHH student and DO have a $139 bill (visible through ISIS login), please post a BRIEF comment below with your name and program; if you are not being billed, no comment is necessary. While I'm at a loss to do anything directly about those that are still getting billed, I can at least amass evidence to pass along. But hopefully this issue has been resolved...

Finally, I realize that many of you on the Marquam Campus remain upset that this fee is required, but that battle has been fought and lost for the time being; please reserve any posts here dealing directly with non-Marquam/CHH students still getting billed.

Much appreciated,
