Friday, March 6, 2009 Now you know Production Services provides complete service for all non-academic campus events including set up, equipment, full audio/visual support, and on-hand technicians to operate the equipment. Events include concerts, banquets and meetings. Production Services employs 16 students. They set up, work and tear down events that take place on campus. Big or small, they take care of it all. Production Services helped make it possible to bring big events such as Craig Morgan, and the Chinese Acrobats to campus by working long hours to set the events up to meet the performer's requirements.

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."                                               --  Albert Schweitzer Visit Day draws prospective students to campus   A student panel about college life is part of College Visit Day today on campus. Some 74 prospective students and their guests are all around campus gathering admission information, taking campus tours, attending academic sessions, having lunch and hopefully, asking a lot of questions. Campus Visit Days are coordinated by the Admissions office. Photo by Jens Gunelson. Announcements  Friday, March 13, will be the last day Fast Copy will be open in North Hall.
