Community Action Week: May 16-20 is the annual week where employees are encouraged to participate in a variety of organized volunteer activities.  The volunteer activities this year include:

  • SPCA of Northern Nevada – Assisting with their office move

  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada – Hosting “Lunch with the Little”

**********************************************************************************************

Diversity Scholarships:  Each year, MSLI awards community scholarships to high school students interested in studying Business, Information Technology, Human Resources, Finance or Accounting at either the University of Nevada, Reno or Truckee Meadows Community College. The future of our economy and quality of life depend upon the preparation of a diverse cadre of leaders who can help build a stronger society. These potential leaders, especially those drawn from groups that have traditionally and historically been denied access to higher education, require the necessary support and opportunities to earn and complete a college education.

Scholarship recipients will be awarded at the Aces Ballpark Tuesday, May 17 at 11:15 a.m.

**********************************************************************************************

IT Makeover: MSLI and IQ Technology Solutions (IQ) have announced the recipients of the third annual IT Makeover campaign, where they will be providing local non-profit charitable organizations with the opportunity to receive technology upgrades.  This year’s recipients include C*A*R*E Chest of Sierra Nevada, Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Project, and Northern Nevada RAVE Family Foundation.

The IT Makeover will provide the selected non-profit organizations a contribution of a combined $30,000 to invest toward key information technology solutions provided by MSLI and IQ.  Using the IT Makeover funding, IQ will provide the products and services such as software, hardware, and technical services each organization will need to implement its strategy.  MSLI will also provide Microsoft software for use by the selected organizations.

Winners of the IT Makeover will be announced at a ceremony Tuesday, May 24, 2011, 3-4 p.m. at Microsoft Licensing, GP: 6880 Sierra Center Parkway, Reno, Nevada
