Post Spring Break Schedule

This is our post Spring Break schedule. Notice a few revisions. 

• The First Draft of the Issue due date has been postponed until Wednesday, March 27
• When we return from Spring Break on Monday, March 25, we'll do an in-class deadline assignment, which is to interview seniors IN-PERSON on whether they have a job lined up or some other plan for when they graduate. We will do these in groups and aim to submit one or a combination of two or more to the Collegian. MUST INCLUDE PHOTOS, so bring your cameras and/or cell phone cameras
• We DO have class on April 8, contrary to what the original schedule said. My mistake!
• But, we will discuss canceling class, so everyone can attend the Sexual Assault Prevention Conference Friday, April 5, 2-6 p.m. at Hampshire College, Franklin Patterson Hall. Sign up by clicking HERE.
