Aug 15-24: Wildcat Welcome 2007
Wildcat Welcome is a series of events that take place in the
Fall Semester during the first week of school to welcome
new, transfer, and returning students to campus. It is
designed to get students involved and make them feel welcome
right from the start. There are individuals from different
areas of campus currently involved in planning and
organizing activities for Wildcat Welcome 2007 to ensure
that we cover as many components as possible. The University
provides some monetary support to help make the program a
success. President Shelton would like to encourage
departments to get involved and help support Wildcat Welcome
2007. The first few weeks of school can be a challenging,
yet exciting time for new and transfer students and usually
quite exciting for returning students. We hope that this
time period of August 15 - 24, 2007 will show the students
at the University of Arizona how happy we, the faculty and
staff, are to have them back on campus after a quiet summer.
We invite you to join us in welcoming our students to campus
by participating in some of the activities we have planned.
Two areas we would like to invite you to be involved in are
the "Sea of Red" and Department activities. Please get
involved in Wildcat Welcome 2007, and with your support we
can provide all University of Arizona students (new,
transfer and returning) with a phenomenal welcome. If you
have any questions, you can reach me at 621-5453 or
adams-riester@life.arizona.edu.
Thank you for your support and participation in this
wonderful program! You can check out our web site for the
2007 Schedule of events at

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
