Switch your email from Metnet to Microsoft Live@Edu by Nov. 15 and you might win an iPod.

The college is switching from Metnet to Microsoft Live@Edu (my.anokaramsey.edu ) for student email, in part because Metnet is discontinuing its email service. According to Cindy Nutter of the Student Life office, Metnet has not offered a specific end date, but students recommended moving as quickly as possible to a new, more robust alternative.

Live@Edu (my.anokaramsey.edu ) was chosen because the college is a Microsoft organization and it was the service strongly preferred by student leadership, explained Nutter.

With Live@Edu each student will have:
• Large storage size for email (10 GB for Outlook
• Password protected 25 GB online storage through Windows Live SkyDrive
• Instant messaging
• Rich calendaring
• Photo sharing

The Office of the Chancellor for the Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities will reduce its budget by $4.2 million and eliminate 41
positions by July 1, 2011. The budget change is due to an anticipated reduction in state funding for fiscal year 2012, and it comes on top of budget reductions to the system office made in five of the past 10 years. This represents a 10 percent reduction from the current fiscal year. The elimination of 41 positions
will be accomplished through resignations, retirements and layoffs.
