    3.) Freeing Your Voice: Basic Tips for Speaking Well

    1:30 p.m. June 11, Human Resources 103A

    Free

    Voice is most powerful when it is truly in tune with the speaker’s thoughts and feelings. Our voices are our greatest source and means for creative and passionate discourse. Each of us is born with a naturally strong, vibrant voice which, through the process of socialization, may have lost much of its natural expressiveness. This workshop is designed to help people strengthen and free their voices by exploration, relaxation, breath support and resonance.

    Additional Information: Registration. Email questions to staff development.

First-place awards went to A&S students Emily Maiden and Jacob Eleazer. Gregory Justis (School of Law) received an honorable mention.

    6.) Biohazardous Waste and Medical Waste Program change

    Due to increased costs for the disposal of bio-hazardous and medical waste, all university labs and clinics will be required to follow recently developed bio-hazardous waste segregation guidelines. To view these important changes, visit the DEHS website. Labs and clinics will also be required to label each full bio-hazardous waste container with a vendor barcode label. To obtain these labels visit the Radiation Safety Office, located in the Library Commons Room 102.
