Higher Education Advocacy Day 2008 on January 10th
VCU Faculty are invited to participate in Higher Education Advocacy
Day on January 10, 2008. We are gathering at 9:00AM in the School of
Nursing Student Lounge, when refreshments will be available and both
position papers, canvas bags for legislators, and other information will be
provided. There will be a brief training session and opportunities for
those new to the process to pair up with colleagues with more experience.
Parking for those on the Monroe Park campus is available in N Deck. Lunch
will also be provided. If you need to come late or leave early, this is
not a problem. Someone will be on hand to assist you whenever you check in
or wish to leave remaining materials.
As noted Theatre professor Lou Szari says, "it'll be a hoot!"
Please print out the schedule below.
Questions? Contact Pat Cummins at 827-0958 or Bob Andrews at 828-7101.
