The Dinner Show is coming up this Thursday and Friday.

TODAY is the last day to make reservations and to pay for your tickets!

We have to place an order today for the dinners.  We only have a few tables left on both nights.

 

Remember it's a four course dinner and the show for 20.00 per person.  It's a great meal and a really fun show!

We would love to sell out both nights!

 

You can call x290 and order tickets or stop by the Theatre dept. and ask for Ms. Durrett, Elizabeth or Josh.  We can all help.

 

The dinner starts at 6pm and the show starts at 8pm.

 

It's a first for the theatre department.  We would love to start it as a tradition.

 

Thanks

Please forward this new password to all faculty and staff at your institution.

Dear Faculty, Staff and Administrators:

 

Please double check your offices and libraries on your campus for faculty evaluations and blue faculty information forms.

 

We would like to send these to IDEA next Tuesday at noon for processing.

 

If you haven't done your evaluations, please send me a list of what we are missing, so I can compare it to what was sent out.

 

There have been numerous amounts of blue faculty information forms that were not completed, or not completed properly, especially the objectives and the contextual questions.

 

Shawna Tucker should be contacting you if we are missing forms from you.

 

Thanks again for taking the time to have your courses evaluated.  This is an excellent tool to help you improve instruction in the classroom.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Tina
