Reminders, deadlines, events and Shocker Blast
* The Graduate School begins moving back to Jardine Hall today (Wednesday, Sept. 16). The 107 Jardine Hall office will remain open during the move in order to handle student questions or for students to drop off paperwork. However, staff availability will be limited until the office move is completed, which should be by the end of the week. The new entrance will be off of the rotunda in Jardine Hall, rather than near the north doors of the building.
* Come to the Ulrich Museum from 4-7 p.m. today (Wednesday, Sept. 16) for 2 Tons Under, an annual steamroller event hosted by Tornado Alley Press and the Ulrich Museum of Art. Printmakers from three different universities along with local high schools will hand carve 4-by-8 wood blocks that will be steamroller-printed live outside of the Ulrich Museum. See the steamroller in action while enjoying food and live music, and buy a T-shirt fresh off of the screen printing rack.
