The following email was sent to faculty, students, and staff by President Kim Cassidy on Friday, September 11.

Dear Members of the Campus Community:

With the beginning of the fall semester comes the return of monthly Coffee Hours, providing students, faculty, and staff a chance to gather to enjoy a cup of coffee, a doughnut, and the opportunity to see colleagues from around the campus.  This year we will hold Coffee Hour at a variety of locations on campus.  Our hope is that everyone will all get a chance to see a part of campus that they don’t ordinarily visit and that all will have at least one opportunity to attend a Coffee Hour near where they work or live.

Our first Coffee Hour of the year will take place on Friday, September 18 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Ward Building (home of the Facilities Department).  Ward is a light-filled, open building, and is home to all of our colleagues who make our physical environment comfortable and attractive.  I look forward to the walk down the hill (Ward is nestled between Schwartz and the Park Science Building) and to good conversation with many of you next week.
