ANNOUNCEMENTS

TEST OF EMERGENCY SYSTEMS JUNE 6 — The University will test UA Alerts and the emergency public address system at 11:55 a.m. on Wednesday, June 6. The test will last approximately 30 seconds and should not be disruptive. Immediately following at noon, the Tuscaloosa Emergency Management Agency will test the outdoor tornado sirens. Building managers should contact AV Solutions at 348-6011 or avsolutions@ua.edu to report any problems with the PA system or if they do not hear the announcement in their buildings.

Faculty and staff should update their contact information on myBama to ensure they receive the UA Alerts messages. People who currently receive the alerts but would prefer to be contacted differently will need to revise their contact information. To view and make changes to their information online, faculty and staff can log in to their myBama accounts at http://mybama.ua.edu. To get more information and view a video of step-by-step instructions for updating information on myBama, click here.

CONSTRUCTION AT FERGUSON CENTER — Construction fences have been placed at three locations around the Ferguson Center for an ongoing expansion project to the East Dining area, Supply Store and Game Room. The work will be done in the evening. For more information, send an email to April Sanders at asanders@sa.ua.edu.

GROUNDS USE PERMITS — People and organizations, both on and off campus, who want to reserve any outdoor space at the University must submit a Grounds Use Permit 10 days prior to the event in order to gain approval for the activity and requested outdoor space. A team of UA professionals will review each request before submitting the request to the assistant vice president of facilities and grounds for final review and approval. After approval, a confirmation letter, along with the Grounds Use Permit, will be sent to the requestor. For complete information and to access the permit, visit the Grounds Use Coordination website. For more information, call Donna McCray, operations manager for facilities and grounds, at 348-6777.

K-12 SUMMER PROGRAMS — UA offers a variety of fun and intriguing summer programs for students of all ages. Visit http://k12summer.ua.edu for information about each. Sponsoring divisions include museums, athletics, engineering, music, computer science, community health sciences, journalism, dance, business and human environmental sciences.

MEMORY SCREENING FOR SENIORS — Free memory screenings will be held throughout the summer at Capstone Village for those who wish to participate. Graduate students in UA’s doctoral psychology program are conducting the screenings under the supervision of a licensed clinical psychologist. People concerned about whether their forgetfulness is normal or possibly an indicator of serious cognitive decline might be interested in undergoing a screening. Each screening is expected to last no longer than one hour. People who are identified with potential memory problems will be referred for a more extensive evaluation. Those who wish to participate should call 205-348-1921 and leave a message, their names, telephone numbers and convenient times to be contacted.
