[Histmaj] Announcements and Opportunities

Thu Jun 7 09:20:21 PDT 2007

Hello History Majors!

I apologize for taking so long getting this information to you.  There are only a couple, but they sounded great and I have spoken with some of you interested in going to Rome, so here you go:

The other announcement I wanted to make is the Advising Office will be closed all day tomorrow, Friday, June 8th in preparation for the convocation, it  will reopen on Monday with regular summer hours.

*HISTORY ADVISING OFFICE SUMMER HOURS
*HONORS WINTER PROGRAM IN ROME - NOW OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS
*CHID-SPONSORED SUMMER PROGRAMS IN ROME-APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED

*****************************************************************
~HISTORY ADVISING HOURS FOR THE SUMMER WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT...

Jennifer is doing fabulously as is her new son, Miles Oliver Weiss (MO or MOW as I like to call him).  The great news is Jennifer will be attending the convocation tomorrow calling out all y'alls names (believe me, you would much rather have her saying your names than me) and she is really excited to have an opportunity to wish all of you well.  Since she is on maternity leave, the office hours will be a little different than during the regular school term:

                       Monday-Friday   8:00-3:30 

These hours may change when I leave for July and August and she returns, but I know she will be keeping you updated on that.
