Well, we've been saying that you could find class cancellations daily here on the Campus Link Bog, but until now have not been able to deliver on that statement. But here we have it...the first official class cancellations of the fall 2009 semester. Gary Battershell (History) is out today. If you have any classes with Mr. Battershell, you can either sleep in, stay home, or have a free class period today! On another note, did you know that today marks the beginning of Back-to-School Bahamas Week at UACCM (I'm sure most of you put that together when you saw all the palm trees and flowered shirts...either that or you thought you had stumbled upon a tropical oasis right here in Morrilton, right?) Anyway, there are some great free things coming up this week at UACCM like a Back-to-School Bash with all sorts of FREE food and prizes, a comic hypnotist , and even a free outdoor movie night . We hope to see you at one or more of these events this week. Have a great week!

Raise your hand if you want to save some $money$! In today's world, we are all looking for ways to save money and the environment. Why not do both at the same time? If you're like many UACCM students and employees, you probably make a daily trek to UACCM from Conway, Russellville, or other surrounding towns (some even come all the way from Little Rock!) A great way to save money, save the environment, make some new friends, and have some fun is to carpool to/from UACCM. We've been trying to find a way to make setting up and managing a carpool system easy (and FREE), and think we may have found it. Try it out by going to www.zimride.com and scrolling down to select "Arkansas" from the state listing. Then, select "Morrilton" from the next page. From there, you will be able to see current ride offers/requests to and from Morrilton and the surrounding areas. If an available ride looks like it will work with your schedule, click on it to see more informatio...
