During his free time, Jim enjoys nature photography. "Especially at the beach," he says.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for next month’s Kampus Kudos Awards Ceremony. Certificates and handshakes will be given to individuals who have worked at the college for 5, 10, 20 and 35 years. A special prize will be given to Creepy Jim, who has attended his 50^th human resources-sponsored sexual harassment awareness seminar.

“More than any other staff member on campus, Creepy Jim has demonstrated a genuine commitment to professional development and gender sensitivity,” said human resources director Clyde Lissow. “Creepy Jim is a role model for all of us.”

Higher Ed Tech Conference 2010: Networking for a Better Tomorrow
February 29, 2010, Maui, Hawaii

Do you spend most of your office time online? Are you surrounded by technophobes at work? Do you need to work on your tan? We have the conference for you!

Pre-Conference Program:
“How to Look Like You’re Doing Work When You’re Really Doing Facebook.”
Learn to download applications that disguise social networking sites so your nosy boss will think you’re working on this year’s learning-outcomes assessment report.

Morning Keynote:
“I used to be a Twit, and now I’m a consultant!”
Motivational speaker and pretty boy Brad Spader tells how he rose from a tenure-rejected professor to a higher ed hero by writing 150 tweets per hour and presenting at every higher ed conference in existence. Brad will be signing his new book, Be Almost as Blond and Good as Me, at lunchtime.

Afternoon Roundtable:
“Networking 2.0”
Bring your Blackberry! We’ll drink coffee, exchange Twitter names, FB friend each other and talk about how lame MySpace is.

Each conference attendee will receive a certificate that says you’ve won a prestigious award for “Progressive Use of Technology to Improve Higher Education” in case your supervisor ever questions the amount of time you spend on AIM.

Make your reservations now. Conference programs are only one day, but we will provide publications that list a 3-day schedule so you can feel free to book extra time for additional “professional development.”
