Like graphic design? Like on-campus fun? of course you do! Then get involved designing for the Student Programming Board. In the words of ID major (and GD minor) Dave Clarkin: Essentially, we run or fund most of the events on campus. And, as the Chair of Publicity and Fundraising, I am looking for competent and reliable graphic designers who would be interested in designing flyers, promotional items and apparel throughout the next semester. I am wondering if you know any students who might be interested or if you could spread the word about this opening? It’s a really fun way to volunteer and be involved on campus! We have a lot to promote and are always looking for people to help. Interested? Email Dave directly: dclarkin@bridgeport.edu.

Last day to W: Friday Nov 4
Did you receive a failing midterm grade in a class? First, speak to your professor to see what you can do to make up your grade. If your professor thinks it is unlikely that you can make up the work in order to pass, you should withdraw. Withdrawing is like dropping a class after drop/add period ends, but the course appears on your transcript accompanied by a W. While it is better to pass than to W, it is much MUCH better to W than to F. Promise! If you need to withdraw, see your advisor at once. The last day to withdraw is Friday November 4th.
