Upcoming Memorial Library Committee Meeting

Hi All,

We are having our first Memorial Library Committee meeting on Monday and I just wanted to get any opinions or comments that any of you may have or have heard regarding the Memorial Library and student concerns. Let me know if you have any suggests or issues with the Library. We will be addressing some student concerns at the meeting so I thought I would open up discussion with all of you! It would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!

Campus Planning Committee, October 23, 2008

After a brief welcome and introduction, the Campus Planning Committee (CPC) commenced its October 23, 2008 meeting. There were five presentations on the agenda:

1) Approval of the September 13 Minutes. During that meeting, the Campus Planning Committee toured the Grainger Hall addition and University Square.

2) Civic Participation and Engagement: I presented 20 minute presentation regarding Civic Participation and Engagement that asked: As a Committee, are we disregarding our responsibility to our community (Chancellor, Faculty Students, Alumni, Boosters, etc.) when we do not engage in meaning conversation regarding the University and how it affects the urban fabric.

A Microsoft '07 PPT copy of the presentation can be found HERE.

A 20MB PDF copy of the presentation can be found HERE.
