General Information

Short-Term Emergency & Book Loans
Available funds have decreased significantly, so fewer students will be eligible for short-term loans. Instructors are encouraged to place textbooks on reserve in the library until students receive financial aid checks. Students interested in short-term loans must visit with a counselor or regional generalist to discuss their specific situations before eligibility is determined. For more information contact Tim Jacobson (246-6625), tjacobson@matcmadison.edu

Work-Study Initiative
This new centralized approach of hiring student employees requires supervisors to file job orders with Advising & Career Resources. Students must also submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and a MATC Student Employment Application before hire. Contact Tim Jacobson (246-6625), tjacobson@matcmadison.edu

PeopleSoft training for faculty and staff will be offered during the week of August 18. Please send an email to Sheila Sheldon at ssheldon@matcmadison.edu with your specific request, comment, or question about your training.

Thanks and Appreciation

The staff at MATC Veterinary Technology Program "ROCK!" Dr.Sheldon and her staff are what the Midwest is all about, hard work and dedication, thank you all! It was a privilege to work with such a friendly, competent, organized group of people. They provided me with so much support and help that the 2003 AVTE Symposium "was the best ever," which are not only my words, but the words from many of the participants.
Sincerely,
Teresa F Sonsthagen, BS, LVT President AVTE
