The Margaret Eschner Bacon Student Gallery in Upton Hall is featuring The Alphabet Project this week. Come and see the original letterforms designed by visual arts freshmen enrolled in Introduction to Design I (spring 2011). These designs were compiled into an accordian-fold book format and printed so that each student could have a tiny book as a keepsake from this class. The exhibition is open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. now through Friday, February 10.

Please be reminded that departmental and program award listings for graduating seniors and master's and C.A.S. candidates are due by Monday, February 27, for placement in the Commencement program booklet. Guidelines and deadline notices were e-mailed to department chairs and secretaries in November. Please visit the Commencement website for guidelines and additional information. Thank you.

Please join us to learn how to use PowerPoint to develop your own slide show.

Then we’ll get into some more advanced features and printing options. This one-hour session is suitable for students who have never used PowerPoint as well as those who need a quick review or some new skills.

Are you working with numbers and looking for a way to include them in your written report? Making a table in Microsoft Word can help, but it won’t add up those long columns of numbers for you! If you have enough numbers, it’s worth your time to join us for this quick one-hour session on basic features in Excel. Using a sample problem, we’ll organize data, perform calculations, and develop graphs. This workshop is for students who have never used Excel as well as those who need a quick review or some new skills.
