The CNAS Diversity Committee has been busy trying to stay informed of the variety of events happening across campus (and there are many!!!). If a committee representative shares information in your department – please pass it on to your students. The committee is working on forming a couple of affinity groups. See the following flyer for one group, CNAS Connect (crocheting hands). If you are interested in participating in or leading a Green Team there is more information at http://www.missouristate.edu/Sustainability/167605.htm

FYI – Reporting nonattendance
To comply with federal financial aid requirements, we must know if students are not attending classes. For this reason, it is essential that you check the attendance of students on your class list, especially during the first week of class.
- If a student is not attending during the first two weeks, you may initiate an instructor drop (see below).
- To report non-attendance after the first week (or during the first week if you choose not to initiate an instructor drop), please use the Reporting Non-Attendance form which is available on our forms page (http://www.missouristate.edu/registrar/forms.htm) and on the Teaching and Advising tab of My Missouri State.
