Help Desk Moves to 24-7 Coverage

Help Desk Moves to 24-7 Coverage In response to increasing campus need for technical support, Library and Information Technology (LIT) has signed an agreement with an outside vendor to provide Help Desk technical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "As we launch the effort this month, we will start with providing after-hours and weekend support, beginning on Friday, Feb. 6, to supplement the already established hours that the on-campus Help Desk is open," says Chief Information Office José Dieudonné.

“The demands on our Help Desk to provide support for greater numbers of computers and devices, as well as providing support outside of traditional business hours, have been growing. In order to meet these increasing demands, we examined alternatives to providing Help Desk services and identified a solution that will provide the following advantages."

Available hours for support will be extended to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Multiple ways of obtaining help will be available, including a live chat feature and self-service help resources.
Working with its vendor, Arcadia will build a searchable knowledge base to supplement existing documentation.
All support requests through the Help Desk phone number or the live chat will be handled at one of the vendor’s facilities in Virginia or Kentucky. Those items that need escalation or on-site assistance will be re-directed back to Arcadia’s on-site Help Desk staff for service.

Arcadia Hosts Pink Zone Charity Basketball Game on Feb. 17

On Tuesday, Feb. 17, Arcadia University Women's Basketball hosts the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Pink Zone charity basketball game against Albright College in the Kuch Center. Tip-off takes place at 6 p.m. Admission is free, but donations to benefit the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund are gladly accepted.

Originally known as Think Pink, the initiative was founded in 2007. In its first year, Pink Zone reached around 830,000 fans and raised close to $1 million to fight and increase awareness about breast cancer.

Kay Yow, founding member of the WBCA Cancer Fund and North Carolina Women’s Head Basketball Coach, passed away after a long battle with breast cancer on Jan. 24, 2008. Diagnosed in 1987, Yow became active in the fight against the disease. Through the fund, Yow’s legacy and that of other breast cancer survivors and victims lives on. View flyer.

University Sets up Confidential Hotline

As part of its efforts to promote safety, security, and ethical behavior, Arcadia recently installed a new phone- and Internet-based reporting system, which is managed by EthicsPoint. This hotline service is for unethical or otherwise inappropriate activity and does not replace our existing methods for reporting problems or complaints. “The University continues to encourage employees to report concerns or suspected violations to their supervisor, Human Resources or other campus entities, as appropriate,” says President Jerry Greiner. “This new system allows you to communicate your concerns while remaining anonymous, if you so choose. We have partnered with EthicsPoint to manage the reporting system for us. They have gone to great lengths to ensure that reports entered in the system are completely confidential. Your input is essential to ensuring that we maintain a positive, productive workplace.” More information about the EthicsPoint Reporting System is available at www.arcadia.edu/ethicspoint or under the Tools menu on MyArcadia.

Hickman Work Will Be IRA April Book of Month

Hickman

Dr. Peggy Hickman, Associate Professor of Education, co-authored a new book, Dynamic Read-Aloud Strategies for English Learners: Building Language and Literacy in the Primary Grades, with Sharolyn D. Pollard-Durodola. The book is being published by the International Reading Association (IRA). It will be the IRA’s April Book of the Month selection, sent to 5,000 members of that worldwide professional association. The goal of this book is to demonstrate to teachers how a read-aloud activity that most of them use in the classroom every day can be employed as a strategy to help second-language learners develop English listening comprehension and oral language proficiency in a culturally and linguistically appropriate way. Dynamic Read-Aloud Strategies is intended to provide teachers with both the theoretical knowledge they need to understand the process of second-language development and a collection of proven strategies that will help them effectively apply that knowledge to their work with English language learners.

**Theatre Presents The Women, Opening Feb. 19**

Arcadia University Theatre brings Clare Booth Luce’s 1936 satire The Women to the MainStage of the Spruance Fine Arts Center starting Feb. 19. The Women is a social satire on the role of women in 1930s society. More than a play about gossip, the play is about class differences and the struggle for women to secure their place in the world, and it explores maturity and friendship among the women. Arcadia University is located at 450 S. Easton Road in Glenside, Pa.

“The Women is about types,” says director Rob Roznowski. “The types of women who existed in the 1930s—and some could argue today—and how these women must deal with each other, men and their role in society. This show has great acerbic humor, and the class discussions of the play are some of the most relevant and best parts of the play. It is easy to look at the play as a camp piece of nostalgia, yet I think it is more important to look at the play and see what these wealthy women were barely escaping at the time—the depression.”

Show times are the following:

Feb. 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at 8 p.m.
Feb. 21, 22, 28 and March 1 at 2 p.m.

For ticket reservations, e-mail arcadiatheatre@arcadia.edu, call 215-572-2112 or use the online ticket reservation system TicketLeap.
