Q. How do I get the Microsoft Office at discounted price?A. Try going to http://wiscsoftware.wisc.edu/wisc/product
Info.asp?id=46497&institution=1029.
You could buy it for 72 bucks there, or you could try downloading OpenOffice, which is a free version of Microsoft Word with half the features. For most people that’s enough.

Q. How do I change my MATC e-mail password?

A. Go to matc.edu then click “check my e-mail” then click “login now.” Once you’re signed in, look at the top for two red checkmarks. That’s the option button. Click it. Once there, you can type in what you want your new password to be and then press Save.
The picture below is a screen shot of the Options-General Settings page which is used.

About the Contributor

Bob Hanson, Adviser MATC Times Newspaper

My philosophy: I believe my ultimate goal is to create a safe atmosphere of engaged learning. This is done with excellent communication skills and sound journalism practice by students. I believe that student media should always consist of student work. I have an obligation to defend and teach without censoring, editing, directing or producing the students’ rights to free expression. My background: I started out my career as a printing press operator and soon learned design and layout. I have been employed at MATC for 30 years and I have had the pleasure of working as the Times Adviser since 2006. I have had several jobs while here at MATC but none have been more satisfying than being the Times Adviser. Other things that I find important: I have the pleasure to work with some of the best students here at MATC. This continually inspires, re-energizes me and sometimes challenges me to always work at my best and strive to give the staff of the MATC Times the best possible learning experience. I have an open door policy and strive to make myself available to students. If you interested in joining our great staff please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call me at 414-297-7824.
