New fitness programs
The Fitness Center is accepting new applications for participation in its adult fitness and cardiac rehabilitation programs. The adult fitness program is designed to develop flexibility, muscle strength and endurance, and cardiovascular endurance. The cardiac rehabilitation program is a series of exercise sessions for people with coronary heart disease, prior heart surgery or revascularization, or those at risk for ­developing coronary heart disease. The program builds endurance, strength, flexibility, and can assist in preventing the progression of heart disease.

Each week the Fitness Center offers three one-hour cardiac rehabilitation exercise sessions (at 9:30 a.m. and 2:45 and 4 p.m.) and three one-hour adult fitness exercise sessions (at 6:45 a.m., noon and 5:15 p.m.) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Room 101E of the Ramsey Student Center.

The yearlong program costs $30 per month for the adult fitness program and $35 per month for the cardiac rehabilitation program. There is an additional initial entrance and fitness evaluation fee of $95. A physician’s referral is required prior to initial testing and stress test evaluation. Those interested in joining the program or receiving more information should contact Jacquee Rosumny at jrosumny@uga.edu or (706) 542-4230.

Student of year nominations
The Career Center’s Student Employment Office invites the UGA community to celebrate the success of all student employees during National Student Employment Week, April 8-15. National Student Employment Week is the time for campus employers to express gratitude for the contributions of student workers. The Student Employment Office invites each department to nominate one student employee for its inaugural Student Employee of the Year Award. A reception will be held honoring the top 50 nominees on April 10. Nominations are due Feb. 12. Nomination forms are available online (www.career.uga.edu/studentemployeeoftheyear.html). For more information, contact Ronnie Swoopes at rswoopes@uga.edu or (706) 542-8829.

Wireless network
Soon every classroom and congregation space on campus will receive a wireless Internet signal, thanks to a new university program. The wireless classroom project is funded by the student technology fee. Through this fee, students are contributing $580,000 this year to the wireless classroom project.

The university currently offers wireless access to students via its Personal Access Wireless/Walkup System, which covers parts, but not all of campus.

PAWS will be extended to classrooms and areas on campus that attract students. The multi-year project will bring wireless access to 264 classrooms in 48 buildings. Approximately two-thirds of these classrooms will be covered by the end of June.
