The Univcrsitv is one of nine institutions in th~ state to be awarded funding to expand its C:\S S\'stcm. said Sue Lau. assocfutc director of records. registration and records. Bowl-ing Green first received CAS funding in 1999. and entered Phase Ill of the program last summer. Using CAS. students, both on and off campus, can determine whether their courses taken at another college or university \\ill transfer to BGSU. \icw course descriptions and get information about academic programs at participating col-leges and universities. maintain a list of their courses and grades and store their own planning guide. CAS can also help chem plan lhcir course schedules to insure that courses \\ill apply should the\· decide to trans( er. from a two'.-vear to a four-vear institution. for example. , -It gives students a lot more information to track as a pro-spective transf cr student, - said Rachel Schaeffer. assistant director of records for cransfcr evaluation. Registration and records \\ill arrange C:\S training for Univer-sity academic ad\iscrs as well as high school guidance counse-lors, who work \\ith students taking post-secondary enroll-ment options program classes. The funding \\ill pay to implement the new software. which \\ill automate some of the processes involved in putting course cquivalcncy information onlinc. It \\ill also purchase some needed hardware and pay for training for employees who useiL For schools \\ith course equivalcncy information avail-able. C:\S "ill also save stu-dents' time coming to the office as they can simply log on to their computers for the informa-tion. ITS \\ill panncr \\ith registra-tion and records in installing the new software. Lau said. Lau predicted CAS \\ill be a good recruiting tool as it enables students to sec what Bowling Green has to off er and how its programs articulate \\ith courses the\" ma\" alrcadv have. It also sh~uld help students stay on track to graduate in a timely manner. This is becoming in-creasingly important to BGSU since so much of its state fund-ing now comes in lhc form of Success Challenge grants, which arc tied in part to timely gradua-tion rates. she added. Union opening ls just around the comer The opening of the new Bowen-Thompson Student Union is in sight. and prepara-tions arc proceeding on sched-ule. its coordinators sa~: -wc·rc looking at a Dec. 28 completion date. \\ith occu-p:mcy sometime in early Janu-ary. - said Senior Project Archi-tect Ray Buckhol::. project manager for the union. Inspec-tions b\" the fire marshalls office and other agencies arc expected to begin this week. Buckhol:: anticipates an occupancy permit for early Jan~: followed by the mO\ing in of new furniture and equipmcnL The openings of the various food operations \\ill be phased in, including lhc first-floor cafc, pubs and food court. The order of opening has not been deter-mined as yet, but -there \\ill be dining options when the union opens,- said Wanda Overland, assistant \ice president and dean of students. No one is more excited lhan the union staff itself, said Dave Crooks, union director. -wc·rc looking forward to mo,ing in. -fa-cnt planning and reserva-tion staff Alice Fortncv and Karen Weber have btt'n taking rcscr\"ations for union facilities beginning in mid-Janua~: \\ith back-up spaces arr:mged through February, Crooks said.

(Left to right) Betsy Bunner; Amy LaGesse and Jeanne Wright, all College of Health and Human Sen·ices, lead Bowling Greens AIDS/HIV education and training-C\'aluation projects. BGSU leads state in AIDS/HIV education For the last 12 vcars, lhc Uni\·crsitys Collcgc of Health and Human Scniccs has led the effort in educating Ohios college and univcrsitv students about HIV and AIDS. The goal of -AIDS Education in Ohio Col-leges and Universities- is to encourage other colleges and uni,·crsities to pro\idc students \\ith relevant information about AIDS and the role of higher education. The effort is one of prevention and empowerment: to reduce the risk of HIV among students and to ensure their appreciation of their role in fighting AIDS. Funded in part by a $36.290 grant from the Ohio Department of Health, the project was the brainchild of HHS Dean Clyde Willis. who was prompted to action by the alarming statistics on young people infected \\ith HI\: -The Ohio DcJl3rlmcnt of Health was interested in dC\·cl-oping programs to help prevent the spread of inf cction and were impressed "ith the class that Bowling Green had dC\·elopcd for its students. - Willis said. Willis was the principal investigator for the grant. which was awarded to dC\·elop educa-tional materials such as model curricula and 'idcotapcs. The materials arc made available to each Ohio institution of l>ighcr education. free to public institu-tions and for a nominal f cc to private ones. They arc dissemi-nated \ia one coordinating institution for each of the five regions in the state. The University has a long history of leading-edge AIDS education. Its first course on HIV was offered in 1989. which was unusual at the time. Class speakers then and now include indi,iduals who arc HI\' posi-ti\"e. Soon thcrcaf tcr Willis began pooling resources \\ith other Ohio uni\·crsitics that off cred some sort of AIDS educa-tion program. and the statC\\idc project was born. But lhc road has not been entirely smooth. Program Direc-tor Betsy Bunner said. -Getting the general uni\·crsity popula-tion concerned about HIV has its challenges. There is no cure for HI\: but new treatments and slo\\ing death rates have people thinking you just need to get treatment and voull be oka\: Though it is n~t lhc death s'cn-tcncc that it once was. li,ing \\ith HIV is not easy-physi-cal\\: emotional\\· or financialh: M~t students who take one of our courses on HIV sec things diff crcntk af tcrwards. -Since its inception. the pro-gram has completed three dis-tinct stages. in which materials were produced. conf crcnces were held and a 'idcoconfcr-cncing network was established. In recent years. lhc project has hosted a statC\\idc conf crcncc on HIV prC\·cntion education for nurses. social workers. counse-lors, health educators. chemical dependency counselors and educators. -This grant has resulted in the c.'\.-pansion of our HIV/AIDS programming.
