First Thursdays Holiday Gathering!

First Thursdays Holiday Gathering

Thursday, December 6, 2007

La Carreta’s on Government Street
(across from Calandro’s)

4:30 p.m.

Bring an ornament to exchange!

We’ll spend some time writing about holiday memories, hopes, and expectations.

We’ll also celebrate our students’ successes and achievements for the first semester.

And, of course, we’ll step back from the stresses
of the season and semester’s end to laugh and
relax in the company of friends.

See you there!

Reminder to Summer 2007 TC's

You were sent an email with a survey to be completed for Inverness Research about your experience this summer. Everyone who completes the survey and returns it to the email or snail mail given in the email will receive a copy of the Summer 07 Anthology in the mail. I have received only 3 responses so far. Please get this done as we need 100% participation. Your timely response is appreciated.

Updates to the Website!

As you may have noticed, we have been working to add some more useful items to the website. You may look up to the main navigation bar under the LSUWP logo and see that we have added a "Site Calendar" tab and a "LAWP Sites" tab. These two tabs will give you information on upcoming events. The site calendar uses google calendar and displays all upcoming events. You may see more information by clicking on the event itself. Maps, directions, who is in charge of the event, and other useful tid bits can be found here. The LAWP tab is for events being hosted by sites other than the LSUWP that you may want to attend.

You may also have noted the information in the middle of the screen. This is a new tool that lists our most recent blog posts right here on the fron of our website. i will try to keep this updated regularly. Look for this to include listserv email contents in the future.

Thanks,
