[Cwgrad-announcements] Colloquium Fait Accompli

[Robin Russin]

Hi everyone:

Ok, I'm making a decision here. Because it has to be done now, and  
because I am the Decider, no matter what those sissies in the Senate  
have to say:

Colloquium will be in Arts 335 on Mondays from 5-7 PM. The hour  
before (4-5 PM) will be available to students who have other "student  
council" business to share with the group, as suggested by Brian  
Oglesby.

The colloquium is, essentially, a chance for you to read and share  
your work with your fellow students and faculty.

I STRONGLY urge you all to sign up and attend. In past years, we have  
all been delighted and grateful to have heard the excellent work read  
by the MFA students, and we as faculty and students all got to know  
each other much better, thanks to it. In fact, I am going to suggest  
that it be offered in both Fall and Spring Terms, and be made  
mandatory from now on for new incoming students (we can't foist it on  
you guys that way because it wasn't in the rules when you signed on--  
but you should consider it practically mandatory, anyway, because you  
will get so much more out of the program if you attend).

I am going to try and get different faculty to sign up to "host" each  
session, but even if there are one or two without faculty, you will  
all profit from attending at hearing each other's work.

I am going to leave it to Carly and Gabriela to sort out who will  
read each week, so contact them with your preferences.

Robin
