End of the Semester
The end is near and you are looking forward to some rest. Before you go though here are some suggestions:
• The servers and computers get cleaned off during the summer so remember to backup your work and take it with you
• If you have feedback on D2L for a project you might use in your portfolio, print or copy/paste it somewhere so you have the notes handy when you go to work on it again. Better yet make the changes and improvements this summer and you will be ahead of the game
• Clean out your locker if you have one
• Return borrow library materials, items from lockup or borrowed from a teacher and anything that borrowed in general
* We are working on a VCOM blog page (access from blog page on DCTC home page) that we hope to get up and running very soon. Check it out over the summer.
* Instructor need to have grades in by May 21st. You should be able to check your grades after that day (some may be earlier than that). Remember grades aren't mailed out, they are accessed in the same login area you register and get your DARS report.

Job/Internship Opportunities!! NEW STUFF!!!
NEW - Web Design opportunity- www.FabulousFunctions.com
I am a past student of DCTC, and a professors daughter (Central College, Pella, Iowa) and so before hiring someone to redesign my site I wanted to see if there were any students or classes who would like to 'take on' the redesign of my site as an internship or a class project.
I am an event planner and own my company, www.FabulousFunctions.com. I have recently been awarded The Best of the Knot for wedding planning in the Twin Cities and am currently on the MSP Business Journal’s Top Corporate Event Planner’s List.
My website does not reflect my growing business and I don't have time to work on it. I need help with everything from redesign to SEO (search engine optimization). If any of your classes or students would like to work with me on it I'd be willing to be the 'Guinea' pig for them.

Web Designer Employer: Magma PC – Rosemount, MN Temporary or Seasonal
You will be working with management in creating a diverse range of interactive websites. Some languages you can expect to use are PHP (with mySQL db), CSS, HTML, javascript, and possibly more. You would be working out of your own home and taking in orders through meetings and phone from management as we are a small business working out of a home office at the moment. We are really looking for someone who can get the job done in a timely manner. Also a passion for web design is a must, I wouldn't want to hire someone who didn't love their job

IF A CLASS IS FULL - if a class is full and you need it/want to take it in the fall, contact Connie or DeAnn to get on a list. This will help us determine if there is enough of a need to justify creating another section.
New Academic Advisor for VCOM
Applied Visual Art, Graphic Desig, Multimedia Web Page Design, Photography/Photo Imaging Technology now have Amy Morrisey as their Advisor in Student Services.
Make sure your D2L email address is correct
If your instructor needs to contact you due to class cancellation or some other reason they often use your D2L email as a quick easy way to get it done. If you don't have an email listed that you check, then you may be out of the loop. Check it and change it, if you need to, as soon as possible and you won't have to worry about missing anything.
