Update on FY 2011 National Service Budget |

As you recall, the budget process kicked off last February, when President Obama released his budget request for Fiscal Year 2011. In that budget, the President proposed $1.416 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service to strengthen our nation’s volunteer sector, foster innovation, and mobilize millions of Americans to solve critical problems through national service.

Commencement Address by Patrick Corvington, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service |
|
|
Thank you, President Romo for that gracious introduction and for the honor of sharing this important moment with you and everyone on this stage. I want to extend my personal congratulations to President Romo as he marks his 11th year as leader of this great university. During his tenure, UTSA has undergone phenomenal growth and thanks to his hard work and vision, these students are graduating from one of the most respected and fastest growing universities in this state and in the nation. And he is committed to ensuring that more people of color both get into college and make it all the way to graduation day. This will go a long way towards reaching President Obama's goal set forth last year that America will have the highest college graduation rate in the world by the year 2020. Thank you, President Romo for your national leadership in that important endeavor. |

Scheduled eSPAN/eGrants and My AmeriCorps Portal Outage: Saturday, March 13, 2010 Between 03.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. |
|
|
On Saturday, March 13, we will be undertaking production system upgrades between the hours of 3.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. The scheduled hardware and software upgrades will improve the overall availability of the application environment in the future. In particular, we are installing a hardware load balancer which will automatically allocate workstation based user requests to an active front end application server. This upgrade will result in better handling of user activity/connectivity should one of the application servers fail at any time. |
