Save Your Bandwidth! Hot-Spot Do’s & Don’ts

Just like on your cell phone, when using a “Hot-Spot” Internet device there are data limits for the amount of bandwidth provided in your monthly billing cycle. Once you meet that quota threshold, connectivity is usually slowed down. This is called “throttling.”  

To avoid throttling, we recommend only using your Hot-Spot for work or school related activities and limit the use of non-work or non-school related activities (such as Pandora, Netflix, Spotify, etc.). 

For individuals that have been assigned an ESU Hot-Spot, please only use the device for work and school purposes.

Bill McKernan Named Director of Facilities

Effective March 9, Bill McKernan is ESU’s new Director of Facilities.  During his role as Interim Director of Facilities since Mark Runge’s untimely passing last September, Bill has displayed outstanding leadership, continuing to support the mission and move forward the initiatives and work of the Facilities team with a steady hand.  Since he joined the Facilities team in 2017, Bill has demonstrated sound judgement and vision as it relates not only to managing the sustainability and safety of the University’s buildings and grounds, but also in caring for and managing the safety and welfare of Facilities teammates and campus personnel. I am excited to have Bill at the helm of the Facilities operations.

 

Please join me in congratulating Bill and thanking him for taking on this important leadership role.  Very soon a search will begin to fill his position as the Assistant Director for Administration and Building Services.

CORRECTED LINK: Students Need to Count Emporia for Census

Dear ESU Hornets, 

 

I’m missing your presence and energy! I hope you are well!

 

As you might recall — 2020 is the year of the US Census. We need your count, and to be counted is simple! First, if you lived in the Residence Halls or Greek Housing as of March 6 you are done! You don’t need to read further!

 

If you live off-campus, then you do need to complete the US Census, and it is easy! If you are in Emporia and getting your mail, fill out the Census Form that should have been mailed to you.  Include everyone who lives with you. Don’t worry about duplicate reports, the Census can take care of this concern. Just report what you know! If you can’t find the form or are not at your residence…go online to www.2020Census.gov and follow the easy steps.  Bottom line, if you are an Emporia State Hornet, you are counted in Emporia!

 

Thank you all for your efforts to be counted. I know this is a challenging time! The Census aside, if you have any questions regarding anything, please do not hesitate to continue to reach out to my office. While we may be scattered, we are still here to help you!

 

Please stay safe, wash your hands often, continue to practice Social Distancing and honor Stay at Home orders!

Tips for Success as an Online Student

1. Create a schedule and establish routine!

2. Bathe and Get Dressed each day.

3. Designate a place for you to do school (desk, card table, dining room table, etc).

4. Use your planner and/or your Canvas Calendar to write down dates and deadlines. (Assignments will still have deadlines.)

5. Do not increase your work hours or commit to more non-school things.  You are still taking the same number of credit hours and you will still have a coursework load.

6. Get some exercise to help with stress.

7. Keep in touch with your advisor, your faculty, your friends and family.

If you are struggling, reach out to ACES (aces@emporia.edu), your Advisor or me (Dr. Shelly Gehrke, rgehrke@emporia.edu)!!

I know everyone is asking...here are the procedures for Cap & Gowns!

If you placed your order as a Ship to Home:

• We are extremely sorry to hear that your commencement ceremonies have been cancelled.  It is our experience that graduates want to have their regalia, regardless of whether they are physically walking in the ceremony, in order to take pictures with family and friends and have a keepsake of the milestone.  As long as the package containing the regalia has not been opened we will refund your order (minus shipping and handling) as long as we receive it back within 30 days of shipment.  Return to:

Oak Hall Cap & Gown

3812 Blue Ridge Drive

Roanoke, VA  24018

 

If you placed your order as a Bookstore Pick Up: 

• We are extremely sorry to hear that your commencement ceremonies have been canceled.  These are certainly stressful times, but it’s very important to not lose sight of your accomplishment.  In order to help you celebrate your hard work and commitment, we’ve reopened the “ship to home” website for you to order your academic regalia.  This will allow you to have regalia to take photos and share with family and friends, and have a keepsake of this important milestone. 

To order regalia, click on the link below. 

https://emporia.shopoakhalli.com/ 

For those that have already placed an order that was being packed and shipping into the university, those orders will all be cancelled, and payment refunded in the near future. You will need to place another order for home ship.

We wish you all the best, Class of 2020.  Don’t forget to celebrate YOU!
