Welcome Back 2004
|
| |
|
For the fourth time the Department once again sponsored a
welcome back event for its students, to help kick off the
new semester. Along with what is colloquially known as "sexy
pop," there were more hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie
burgers than anyone cared to eat in one sitting. So we were
set for lunches for the coming week.
|
| |
|
The lunch was held outside our newly refurbished Department
library
and lounge.
|
| |
|
At this year's lunch, our former main office assistant, Kim
Davis (now a Blount Junior Fellow, pursuing a MA in French),
was presented by Ms. Betty Dickey with a historic photo of
Clark, Manly, and Garland Halls (signed by the faculty and
staff), along with a small desk plaque, presented by Prof.
Schaeffer, bearing the initials "WWKD." Another
plaque sits in our main office where we hope, for some years
to come, everyone in will ask themselves, "What Would
Kim Do?" before they tackle any project.

 |
|
The lunch
provided a chance to distribute the Department's t-shirts,
mouse pads, and mugs.
|
 |
|
l to r: Drew Elmore, John
Parrish, and Mike Winder peruse the merchandise.

Thanks once again goes to Betty Dickey and Prof. Tim Murphy
for helping to make this yet another very successful event.
And thanks also to Samantha Sastre and Josh McDonough for
their photographic skills.

bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Leave simple ones,
and live, and walk in the way of insight" (Proverbs 9:
