Please take the CMU 101 Exit Survey.

Don't forget to submit your "This I Believe" statement before Wednesday; I am looking forward to reading those.

Please pick a day for your Ashby-Hodge Gallery Tour for next week. I will meet you in Stedman 200 and we will walk over together to the Gallery.

If you have been there before, there is a new exhibition in Gallery 3, with glass and ceramics, and I will ask Dr. Haskamp to start with that, so you do not have to stay for gallery 1 and 2, since those displays did not change.

On the other day, I would like you to think about the CMU Mission Statement and take a picture (on or off campus) of someone or something that represents a value that you think represents this mission, or should represent it. Upload the picture with a brief description of your thought behind it to myCMU.
