We’re sorry if you were looking forward to getting to hear from professional writing coach Marcia Riley tomorrow, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we have canceled tomorrow’s speaker meeting. Our next speaker meeting is now planned for after Winter Break in January, and we will post more details on it in the coming weeks.
We still plan on holding Dogs on the Lawn this Wednesday from 10-2pm, so please stop by. Again we apologize for this inconvenience.
Do you love dogs? Take a break from studying this Wednesday and stop by the Tate lawn, where IABC at UGA and Petzone will be promoting awareness for some of the dogs at the shelter. Stop by to play with the dogs or just to ask about our big plans for next semester.
We will be out between 10-2pm. Hope to see you there!
