The CNM Governing Board and President Katharine Winograd invite all CNM employees to a reception Nov. 11 to thank you for your commitment to the success of CNM students throughout the year. The reception will be from 3-5 p.m. in the Richard Barr Boardroom in the Student Resource Center on Main Campus. The myCNM platform is in the process of being upgraded to a newer version that will provide better integration with Banner, CNM Learn (formerly called Blackboard) and student email, as well as better browser compatibility and other upgraded features. There will also be a redesign of the look and feel of the new myCNM, which will lead to some reorganization of information and the location of links. More information about the changes within myCNM will be available as the launch date gets closer. Launch is scheduled for Feb. 22. Faculty members who use the “Course Studio” function that is accessed from the myCourses section of myCNM will need to move any content in Course Studio that they will need for the Spring Term to CNM Learn (Blackboard). An animated story teller, a singer and a magician are among the acts scheduled for the CNM’s Got Talent competition scheduled for Nov. 20 from 6-8 p.m. in Smith Brasher Hall, Room 100. The event is an entertaining fundraiser for the CNM Leading the Way campaign.

Rob joins us from the University of New Mexico; STEM UP CNM/UNM Cooperative. In this capacity, he worked closely with Academic Affairs, Enrollment Services, and Student Services at CNM and UNM. In the Spring of 2015, CNM will be continuing a pilot Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for select classes. Classes across CNM will be chosen for the pilot study. The students in these classes will be expected to have a mobile device for use in the classroom as part of the class activities. The goal will be to increase student engagement in the classroom, enhance the lecture/lab experience, and provide a green alternative to traditional paper assessments.
