Peace team wins N.C. title in ‘HR Games’
A team of three Peace College students took the first place title in the statewide “HR Games” competition on Saturday. The victory marked the third year in a row that Peace has won the state title. Peace’s White Team – made up of Paulette Culp, Maureen Friece and Nikki Marcom – won the championship, overcoming a field of 17 teams from six schools across the state: Peace, Meredith, N.C. State, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Wilmington and N.C. A&T University. The team defeated Meredith in the championship round. Peace’s Green Team – made up of Paige Atkins, Lauren Rouse and Tracey Wright – finished sixth in the competition.  

Peace goes on to compete in the Southeast Regional “HR Games” on April 18 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. Between 25 and 30 teams are expected at that competition. Peace teams won the Southeast title in 2007 and placed second in the Southeast in 2005. 

The Peace College “HR Games” teams were coached this year by Kathy Corley. The “HR Games” competition is sponsored by the Society for Human Resource Management.

‘Choosing Civility’ chosen for summer reading
Dawn Dillon announces: I am pleased to announce that “Choosing Civility: The Twenty Five Rules of Considerate Conduct,” by PM Forni, has been selected as our summer reading for 2009. Dr. Forni is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and co-founder of the JU Civility Project. Although selected as the reading for the First Year Adventures Program, I feel that it is a great read for all the Peace campus community.  I want to alert the faculty of this selection and invite them to incorporate the book and topic into their fall courses as applicable. For more information on the book, Dr. Forni and the Civility Project, please visit http://krieger.jhu.edu/civility.  We are unsure if we will be able to bring Dr. Forni to campus or not, but we will have a fall speaker (or perhaps a panel of speakers) to address this topic.

Energy Savings with Copy Machines
Each copy machine has an 'Energy Saver' button on the control panel. Pushing it after you complete your copy job darkens the screen and helps cut down on the energy used when the machine is idle. The next time a copy is needed, opening the top or placing paper in the tray brings up the screen. The energy saving mode has no affect on the ability to print to the copier. Let's all start using the 'Energy Saver' button on our copiers to cut down on energy and costs!
