Dear Sponsors,
The Flag Ceremony on the 8th of August will begin at 09:30.
Busses begin running from the Bell Hall parking lot at 08:30 and return
immediately after the ceremony up until noon.  We anticipate the ceremony to
last an hour.  The IMS will only have a few minutes to attend the reception
since they have to join their staff groups by 11:15 for a class briefing at
11:30.

Regards,
Mike

Afternoon at Deanna Rose Farmstead Sunday Sept 25

Farmstead imageContact your officer about the Farmstead event soon. Here’s why:

The International Student Division (IMSD) requires the student officers to commit (or not) to the Farmstead event by early September. Contact your officers  and make sure they know you’re attending and want them to attend, too. If they miss their deadline, they will miss this wonderful day at the Farmstead.
