PLANNING TO PRE-REGISTER FOR SUMMER OR FALL CLASSES?
Dear Student, we are rapidly approaching pre-registration for Summer Term (April 7–25) and for Fall 2014 (March 31—May 2). Let me give you a simple check list to see if you will be held up, or if you will sail through!
_____ I have a balance due
_____ I have not made arrangements for payments (that means you have called the Financial Services office and you have given them an amount and a date the payment will be made). Please call to set up a payment plan—just remember that we have March, April and May remaining for payments to be made this year.
_____ I have undisbursed financial aid for the 2013 – 2014 year showing on my Financial Aid Online “Disbursements” tab at www.aid.corban.edu.
_____ My Financial Aid will not pay all of my balance due. A Financial Aid Counselor would be happy to help you learn about additional loan options.
_____ I have not applied for loans to pay for the rest of my balance.
If you have checked the first item and no others, you will sail through!
If you have checked any of the rest, your Pre-registration will be delayed until those items are completed.
To all the hosts willing to “change it up” and host a different weekend. Thanks so much for your flexibility! Corban Experience was a success and we owe much of it to you! Stay tuned for the winner of the dorm hosting competition. (The anticipation just might kill you!)

“Loveology”
The Never-Ending Story of Male and Female
Wed., Feb. 19, 9 – 11 p.m.
Emitte Center
In the beginning God created man and woman. Ever since, we humans have been asking questions. “Loveology” is an exploration of what the Bible has to say about the never-ending story of male and female. This Corban community-only event, especially for singles, will feature in-depth discussion about singleness and marriage from “Loveology” author John Mark Comer. Comer serves as lead pastor at Bridgetown: A Jesus Church, which is part of a family of churches formally known as Solid Rock in Portland, OR. Bridgetown is unique in that about half of the 6,000-member church is made up of educated, unmarried college students and twenty-somethings. After he speaks, Comer will host a lively, anything goes Q&A session. Come and discover the theology of love, ask questions about sex and romance, and maybe even learn something new about God’s purpose for you.
The Corbanator did not meet on Feb. 6, due to the snow and the school closure!

PRESIDENT’S DAY HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
Saturday, February 15, 2013 CLOSED
Sunday, February 16, 2013 CLOSED
Monday, February 17, 2013 2:00– 11:00pm
Hoff School of Business (HSB) is sponsoring Lemonade Day in Salem/Kaiser. This is the first venture in the Northwest. If you are interested in mentoring a middle-school student (taking them through a very child-friendly, cartoon-laden workbook) contact Griff Lindell, Dean of the HSB. You don’t have to be a business major to mentor – you just have to love kids – and help them answer the questions that will build their 14-step process in starting a lemonade stand business!
A sample of the Mentoring Guide is available in the Dean’s office. Contact Dean Lindell if you are interested. glindell@corban.edu.
About Lemonade Day – from the national website:
America was built on the back of small business. Entrepreneurs take risks believing they can realize their dream if they work hard, take responsibility and act as good stewards of their resources. Today’s youth share that optimism, but lack the life skills, mentorship and real-world experience necessary to be successful. In 2007, founder Michael Holthouse had a vision to empower today’s youth to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs through helping them start, own and operate their very own business…a lemonade stand. Lemonade Day is a strategic 14-step process that walks youth from a dream to a business plan, while teaching them the same principles required to start any big company. Inspiring kids to work hard and make a profit, they are also taught to spend some, save some and share some by giving back to their community. Launched in Houston, Texas in 2007, Lemonade Day has grown from 2,700 kids in one city to 150,000 kids in 36 cities across America and Canada. With the help of partners like Google, Lemonade Day will bring this entrepreneurial experience to 1 million kids in 100 cities across America, sparking entrepreneurship and empowering youth in a way that’s never been done to scale.

Having trouble figuring out how to type on the new Reach forms (writable pdfs) that are on Converge? Here’s how:
• From a computer on campus: The pdf will open in Adobe. Look in the upper right for the word “Comment.” Click on that, then select “T” for text. Now you can place the cursor where you want and type.
• From a computer off campus: It may or may not be the same as above, but the key is to select a “text” option which enables you to type on the form. Sometimes this is an icon in the toolbar, sometimes it appears to the left or along the top.
