Announcements Staff development grant opportunities Faculty and Instructional Academic Staff Professional Development (Round 2) Academic Staff Professional Development Grant Robert P. Knowles International Education Grant Since Monday, the original due date, is a holiday, applications will be accepted through Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 4:30 p.m. More information and the application process can be found at http://www.uwrf.edu/FacultyDevelopment/. If questions, e-mail [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or call 3843. CarShare by Enterprise offered again University Fleet is again offering the CarShare program. Nissan is the corporate sponsor with Enterprise this year and two high-efficiency vehicles are again being offered. Sign-up and utilization are easy! Both vehicles are parked conveniently by Facilities Management with our other fleet vehicles. Enterprise is offering a special offer this fall for a very reasonable price. Unlike fleet, CarShare vehicles can be used for personal travel and for as little as one hour increments, allowing you to basically pay as you go versus trip minimums. International students, students without a vehicle on-campus, faculty/staff who normally walk or bike and have an off-campus personal appointment all have found the convenience beneficial. Check out the CarShare link on the Facilities Management website at http://www.uwrf.edu/Facilities/Index.cfm. If questions, call Facilities Management at 3820.
