Greeting to PIU-Guam Students from the President. Here is some news and encouragement as we sprint for the finish line of this semester. Prez to Student News. We have a good layout for summer classes. Pick up a schedule in the office or view it online. Dorms will be open. See more below. Pell grants are available for summer school. If you haven't already, talk to Delight. For part of the summer, I won't be here to bug you. We are currently receiving applications for students who are willing to do maintenance work this summer in exchange for dorm fees. See Joshua and me if you are interested. I don't know about the students in PHIL 200, but I have a lot of fun in that class.Lately, we have had some fun with some old--really old--music. Here is a song (click on pic) that has a logical fallacy embedded in it. The first non-PHIL200 student with the correct answer gets a free Wendy's Frosty Here is another song just for your amusement. It's about one of your fellow students. If you have a song about another student, or me, let me know. Perhaps we'll feature it in another Student Newz. Prayer Request: Dave Owen has another scan on Tuesday. Dave recently shared some good ideas about avoiding worry. (Click pic) Your RAs have information about Dorm Clean-up, and summer dorm. Check with them. May 6 is out-of-the-dorm time. I encourage you to look at the report about the Staff/faculty Appreciation Banquet. The gifts from you students were much appreciated. "You, students, are our best recruiters." We have a simple recruiting tool. It is engineered to encourage potential students to look further. We have it in both a digital and print format. Get a copy, whichever works for you, and follow the steps below: Pick out one or more friend, relative, or fellow church member whom you want to encourage to come to PIU. Get either a printed version of this "recruitment tract" or the digital version (See attachment) Write a personal note to your friend. Don't just send them the tract. For some this will best be done by email, Facebook, or some other media you students have mastered. For others, postal mail will work best. For a few, the best way to handle this will be to sit down with your friend and have a conversation. Whatever is best, just do it. If you are sending your note to your friend via postal mail, you can just give it to Joshua. We'll buy the stamp. This one is most important. Stop by my office so we can pray, and discuss how to best reach out to your friend. It would be good to mention that because of the sacrificial service of our staff, and because our accreditation enables US & Compact students to use Pell grants, education at PIU is a bargain, for many of you, it is free.  Micronesia needs leaders like PIU alumni who are  already out there doing the job. Some of your friends and relatives need what PIU has to offer. PIU needs students. focus! Are you interested in living in the dorm this summer? If so, and you haven't let us know, please let Alex or me know, ASAP. Have a great week. hm By His Grace,     The Prez.
