Heads Up! MacPeople moving to Tuesday Next Semester
Thursday, December 11, 2008 Filed in: MUG News
A distance education class will be meeting in Entomology Room 1031 on
Thursday evenings throughout the Spring semester, January-April. Rather than
change to a different room, the members voted at the November meeting to
switch the meeting day to the second Tuesday for the months that we are
excluded from using room 1031 on Thursday evening.
Here are the second Tuesday dates for the beginning of next year:
January 13
February 10
March 10
April 14
Mark these changes on your calendars now to avoid scheduling a conflict on
these dates.
