Hello ACU A&D,

Well, I hope everyone is making it after the trauma of last week. I am not sure how much more we can all take. We are artists! We will survive! But seriously, if you need something or know of someone who needs some extra support please let us know.

New Admin Coordinator!

As I mentioned last week, Kara Taylor has started! Her hours will be limited on Monday and Tuesday but please make an effort to stop by and introduce yourself. You all are so good at making people feel welcome. It’s always nerve racking to start a new job.

Mandatory Meeting: THIS Thursday at 4pm (ZOOM)

This will be particularly important for our individual programs. Our plan is to break into smaller Zoom groups led by your specific program directors after a few general announcements. Please be sure to attend.

This one will also be in the library atrium, just outside the Maker Lab! But because of last week’s chaos we will be sending more information out on this later in the week.

Hello ACU A&D,

I hope everyone is staying warm today! This is the first edition of “Weekly Announcements” in a while and we have some big news! Not to mention the ridiculous cold. As always, please take care of each other.

First Things First: New Admin Coordinator!

I would like to introduce you to Kara Taylor! She will be leading the A&D office and so much of what we do as a department. This is such an important role and we are so happy that she has joined our team. Please stop by and meet her sometime this week. Tell her about yourself and find a creative way to make her feel welcome. Because of this crazy weather we are unsure of what day exactly she will begin. So, be on the lookout!

Mandatory Meeting: February 25th, 4pm (ZOOM)

We are planning our Spring Mandatory Meeting! This will be particularly important for our individual programs. Our plan is to break into smaller Zoom groups led by your specific program directors after a few general announcements.

Senior Show: Jinkies! Graduation?!

If you missed the senior show on Friday you can still run by and see it in the library atrium, just outside the Maker Lab!

Covid19 Protocols Reminder

We ask that you please continue to follow all health and safety protocols. Many of us are in close contact with at risk populations or are in a higher risk category ourselves. We have had devastating, personal impact within our community and we want to be as careful and considerate as possible. It is exciting to watch numbers go down so please continue to care for others.
