Cherokee Visit
Over the spring break, a number of students traveled with Dr. Allen Bryant (C&I) to visit the Cherokees of western North Carolina; students had opportunities to attend classes, talk with teachers, and become familiar with some of the culture and traditions of the Cherokee people. From all reports, the students found the trip educational and fun.
International Round Tables
The RCOE International Activities Committee is hosting on Thursday, April 3 from 11:30-1pm, International Round Tables, an informal discussion forum with RCOE faculty who have recently been involved in international travel. The purpose of this discussion is to share information about such travel, ideas about involving students in international travel, ways of developing Off-campus Scholarly Assignment proposals involving international travel, faculty exchanges, etc. Thus far, we have the following countries identified: China, Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, England, Scotland, and Japan. Pizza and drinks will be available.
Changes in LES
Dr. Bryan Brooks has resigned his position as department chair, effective April 1, 2008. Dr. Richard Reidl will be serving as interim chair for the remainder of the semester. Lisa Freeman has accepted a position in Belk Library. Her position has been posted.
Architect Meetings
The group meetings this past week with the architect went extremely well and on his behalf, I want to thank the individuals involved for their suggestions. We anticipate having a full set of plans available for college-wide review on April 18 when the architect will make a presentation to the entire college and be available to answer questions.
