MediaTech Technology Expo

University Libraries' Media and Technology Support Services (MediaTech) will hold the 2002 Technology Expo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, in The Nittany Lion Inn Ballroom on the University Park campus.

The event is free to the public. The Technology Expo will showcase technology and audiovisual equipment.

Product vendors and MediaTech staff will be on hand to answer questions and give demonstrations. For information, call (814) 863-4389.

Bus service extended

The University Libraries have purchased extended late-night bus service from CATA to help students and others get back to their residences after late-night study hours.

To accommodate end of the semester study needs, operating hours at Pattee and Paterno Libraries on the University Park campus will be extended until 2 a.m. from Sunday, April 28, through Thursday, May 2.

The additional bus service will run from approximately 12:20 to 2:20 a.m. for the Campus Loop and 12:24 to 2:24 a.m. for the Town Loop. Times are for the Pattee Library stop on Curtin Road. One additional bus will remain in service on each route and will run approximately every 20 minutes. The service remains free for riders.

The move was prompted by concern about the safety of both students and employees working the late-night shifts during study days and finals.

The food lab needs women, ages 20 to 45, who are not pregnant or lactating, to participate in a study beginning May 13.

Participants will be asked to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner one day a week for six weeks in the lab in Henderson Building on the University Park campus. All meals will be provided and participants will be paid.

For information, call Tanja at (814) 863-8482.

Student aid notifications
to be available online

Beginning in June, student-aid award notifications for the 2002-2003 academic year will be available online for returning students from all campus locations via the Student Aid Summary application on eLion. Paper award notifications, mailed to returning students at their home addresses in previous years, no longer will be printed or distributed. Only first-year, transfer, re-enrolled and new graduate students will receive a paper award notification due to the timing of their awards and assignment of a Penn State access account.

Returning students will receive an
e-mail message in June at their Penn State e-mail address notifying them that their 2002/2003 Student Financial Aid Award Notification is accessible on eLion at http://www.elion.psu.edu.
