CUA Launches “Year for Priests” Web Site Catholic University has launched a special Web site in celebration of Pope Benedict’s “Year for Priests.” The Web site features a multimedia slideshow of CUA alumnus Father John Adams, president of SOME in Washington, D.C. Catholic University’s “Year for Priests” Web site will feature other slideshows — each one dedicated to a priest who is a Catholic University alumnus. To view the Web site, visit http://yearforpriests.cua.edu. Changes in Enrollment Services As announced by Very Rev. David M. O’Connell, C.M., university president, the offices of the registrar and student accounts have merged to form the Office of Enrollment Services under the direction of Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services and University Registrar Adriana Farella. Construction is underway on the new Enrollment Services Student Service Center in McMahon Hall, Room 10, formerly the Office of the Registrar. The new service center is expected to open in early August. The changes in McMahon are a first step before all enrollment management related activities, including enrollment services, will be consolidated in the renovated Cardinal Hall. As part of this reorganization the two computer lab classrooms on the ground floor of McMahon are being relocated to the ground floor of Leahy Hall. Construction has begun on these spaces and the new computer lab classrooms will be available for fall 2009 classes. While some staff members formerly assigned to the Office of Student Accounts have moved to the ground floor of McMahon, most student accounting services are still being provided in Leahy Hall, Room 140. The remainder of the student accounts staff will move to McMahon upon completion of the new service center. A new enrollment services Web page is being designed and will replace the current registrar and student accounts pages later this summer. For more information, call 202-319-5300. Back to Top
